Important information
Any questions?
You will no longer have an interest free overdraft amount on your new Spend and Save account. You will be charged interest on the whole amount of your Arranged Overdraft (if you have one), and all other terms and conditions of the Arranged Overdraft will remain the same. Any outstanding charges on your existing account will be moved to your new Spend & Save account.
Find out more information about our Overdrafts.
If you change to a Spend & Save account, you will lose the insurance benefits from your previous Added Value Account, as well as the Interest Fee Arranged Overdraft amount. Please be aware that TSB no longer sell Added Value Accounts, therefore you will not be able to transfer back at a later date. You should review your insurance arrangements to ensure your insurance needs are covered before changing your account.
Customers moving from Added Value accounts will receive a new TSB contactless debit card. Your existing card will continue to work for 30 days. However, as soon as you use your new card, your old card will stop working.
Customers moving from Classic Plus/Enhance can continue using their existing debit card.
Your existing Direct Debits, standing orders and regular payments will remain in place and unchanged. You don’t have to do anything.
Once we've received your request, we'll convert your existing account to a Spend & Save account within 7 working days. Once this is complete, we'll send a confirmation email to the email address you have registered for TSB Internet Banking. You will also be able to see when your account has been converted to Spend & Save when you login to your Internet Banking account. (However please note that if you have previously re-named your account in Internet Banking, this will remain in place). If we are unable to convert your account for any reason, we'll endeavour to contact you by email.
Your sort code and account number will remain the same. You can find your existing sort code and account number on your bank statement, bank card or through internet banking.
