Really useful, thanks. I have an Ulster Bank Savings account but no current account, but they have not told me I need one

[scottjock]

What about the Post Office on line easy access saver. Ok its 4.9% but no limit. No notice. Joint account available.

[deokbaee]

Say you have 2 DD one for gym & car tax does this count for the Santander hack? Or would I need to cancel them first?

[Iisardias]

The Santander edge says it requires to have 2 direct debits and pay at least £500 each month. So is the hack still working?

[Baxter]

Do you think the Santander hack would work while applying for the 2% cashback credit card they're doing?

[david_olubodun]

For Santander Savings Account, do they pay the interest monthly?

[pwincezq]

How do you maximise the Santander edge saver? Do you put 4000 in straight away (if interest paid yearly or put around 90% in to take into account some compounding?

[Nidge]

You should point out that many accounts do not accept joint names on opening the account, (husband and wife) which has inheritance tax implications etc, for example - Oxbury, Atom bank.

[Choggisback]

Monument bank has upped their limit from £400k to £2m

[charlesnewsonofficial]

its very important to add so people are not mis informed
Santander Edge saver is 6.00% AER
You need to be putting in £500 per month into current account per month
Have atleast 2 active direct debits running from the account (You said you could freeze this but that's not correct)

What I'd really like to see is a finance expert do is a comparison video of the various 'ready made' stocks and shares ISA'S out there.

Virgin Money, Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and others offer Stocks and Shares ISA which they manage and choose the investment portfolio. The investor chooses the risk they are comfortable with.

I've looked online for how these pre packaged ISA'S perform against each other but can find zero information.

[AndyK.]

Can you have a Santander123 and edge account ?

[colombanoalessandro]

Thanks for your video! Sadly, the Oxbury bank one has £20k minimum, not £1k!

I look forward to you updates ✨
Plum ISA… GOOD RATE BUT NO way to speak to anyone
Moneybox …phone access but no one answers

Hi folks - great channel. I’m about to sell my house and move area. I will hopefully end up with about 250k cash but because I’m not in a chain I’m planning to hold onto the money for 6-12months or so before buying my next house. I’ll be living rent free in the meantime in temporary accommodation. I’m just curious where the easiest (no faff) and safest place to invest the money is? Obviously with highest interest rates and return? I might need to access my money fairly quickly after 6months or so. Thanks for any info folks.
