Oh god. In my mind I was thinking about the card, and yet somehow I entirely forgot to write that :laughing:.

Yeah that looks really bad out of context.

You had to back in the day.

There wasn’t much choice, if any, fee free wise.

Opened Easy Saver account yesterday evening
Still under review…

Would it be worth reaching out to their support team?

It’s really odd that it’s been in review for so long.

It seems a fair bit of faff for a poor 4% rate tbh.

4% instant access is pretty good imo. Certainly better than Monzo’s non-paid offering of just 3.6%

Your first image clearly says that there is no need to tell HSBC that you plan to travel - though the option does exist if you wish too…

Yes I accept I didn’t read the webpage however why do they still have it On the pop out menu for “notify us of travel”, Because to me that implies that you have to do it

Marcus is 4.3 and ford is 4.65 although about to drop I think.

So remember when I posted that because I didn’t use my Starling debit card, they were not going to send another one. Well apparently they’ve backtracked on that for some reason.

I’ve still not used it, but I got this message

Yes, they did the same with me last year.

Mystery solved, The other one that they said they weren’t sending me was my “ Helping out” Card that I got during the pandemic

Mystery deepens for me, then, because I only have the one card. I do have a Euro account but I can’t see how that would make a difference.

This is the first time I’ve ever been refused a savings account :slight_smile:

Weird because isn’t this just a “space” with interest? It’s not an actual savings account as far as I can see, no account/sort code.

Yeah.

It is in a different section of the spaces tab though.

They’ve got “Spaces” at the top, and then “Saving Spaces” underneath. So this makes me think that there’s more products coming (16-17 Saver when??)

But you’re right there is no account details. Only transfers to/from current account, kinda like Monzo’s Instant Access pots.

So, just opened my Easy Saver with a whole £7 in it so far!

Easy enough to open and no delays or anything.

But…the whole product is worthless and RUINED! RUINED I tell you! Because it looks like you can’t change the Thumbnail so I’ve just got a generic purple blob.

Also, its slightly strange(ish) that you can only open 1 Easy Saver, but they still ask you to give the space a specific name - I suppose that’s just a relic of the fact that they’ve probably frankensteined this product from their general Spaces/Fixed Saver accounts.

I really like generic purple blob personally.

Is that just because you can’t have it though :thinking:
