Customers joining Classic Plus can earn £164.40 a year

Credit card cashback offer extended until June 2018

Wednesday 1 March 2017: From today, TSB will offer a warm welcome to customers choosing to join its Classic Plus current account with cashback rewards of up to £10 a month for day to day banking.

Already one of the best current accounts on the market, TSB’s Classic Plus will now reward new customers with £5 for making 20 debit card payments within a month plus an extra £5 if they make at least two direct debits each month. Designed to give new customers a great start with TSB, the cashback will be paid until June 2018.

Combined with the 3% credit interest available on balances up to £1,500, customers can pocket up to £13.70 per month, or £164.40 over a year – plus there’s no account fee.

What’s more, TSB has also extended the credit card cashback offer for new and existing customers for a further nine months until June 2018. So customers holding a Classic Plus account and a TSB MasterCard1 credit card can earn 1% cashback for the first £500 spent on their credit card each month – worth up to £60 over a year.

The new cashback offer is the latest ‘Plusness’ customers can expect from TSB. Since the launch of the first Classic Plus cashback offer in September 2015 customers have been rewarded £9.3million in cashback. During the same period, Classic Plus customers earned £50million in interest.

Jatin Patel, Product Director at TSB, said: “We work hard to bring great banking to more people and this latest cashback offer gives customers opening a Classic Plus Account just that. Classic Plus is already one of the best current accounts available on the market and TSB was the highest rated high street bank according to the recent Which? Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey for banking, and now customers opening an account will benefit from extra rewards too.”
