I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

I read here that Tesco savers accounts were ok for stealth but have just had a £150 payment get sent back to paypal.

The test funds to verify worked fine.

Been using Halifax with no issues until now but ran out of accounts to use, now need another home.


I have 3 tesco savers open, will these all go the same way?

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

I've had numerous issues with Halifax over the past 2 months.

Tesco I only used to verify an account and haven't withdrawn to it yet so cannot comment

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

Yeah I had the payment pending 72 hours and was expecting it to go on at that point as a formality. I got an email from paypal saying tesco rejected the payment, with one of reasons 'not specified by bank'.

Want to leave as small a credit footprint as possible and chose tesco as secondary because that is who my credit card is with. Any other sure fire companies? Santander work ok?

Yes I lost a Tesco saver 2 months ago they noticed mismatched names:boink:

I lost to accounts with Halifax

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

So are Halifax savers accounts a no no? I've just made a couple online and I was about to use them to make some stealth stores.

Which bank would you guys recommend? Also are there any problems with opening too many online savers accounts? I was doing it the slow way initially by applying for physical bank cards such as current accounts.

Thanks

santander online savers are v good ;)

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

Ive just withdrawn to my halifax savers....no problem :-)

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

Halifax and Bank Of Scotland still good for me.

That said, I have no kid of CIFAS flag against my name.

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

Yes I've just linked an online savers account to PayPal now and in the middle of confirming it. I can see that the penny has gone into the savers account but there seems to be an error viewing the bank statement atm :/ Will log in tomorrow to check.

Is there a limit to how many online savers accounts you can make or can I go crazy and do around 5 a day =D

Thanks

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

I would keep it to no more than a few per year per bank

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

is it ok to use a Halfiax saver for a new stealth after 'normal Halifax current acc' was made 'dead' from a previous different stealth acc?

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

Yes that is fine.
Whatever bank account or savers account you use, as long as account number hasnt been used before, youll be fine :-)

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

No but you pong and kids would run a mile and I have 2 bank accounts in my name so there :cheer:

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

right Halifax and Tesco have been no good for me that's my personal experience but co-op and bank of Scotland have been great and about to try Santander

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

For some reason, certain banks appear to be affecting some but not others so its trial and error there.
I have absolutely no probs with halifax at all, both current account and savers.
Not tried Tesco myself but santander is great i have found also

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

I have a question..

if you have used a 'current account' and made withdrawals with mismatched names previously with no probs

but now you cant use that 'current acc' no more for obv reasons,

so you use an Online Saver with same bank and start new Stealth PP withdrawals again with mismatched names but its a Different 'mismatched name' to the one used before with the current acc

wouldn't this make your Bank very suspicious about you and greatly increase the risk of them reversing the PP withdrawals you made to the online saver?

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

Co op are great. Used them for a few years, no problem whatsoever :)

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

For having multiple current accounts with them or 1 of each (current+saver)

Have you had Multiple stealth 'all different names' linked only to your co op banks and not had the co op ever contact you asking anything?

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

co op are the best avoid tesco savers nightmare for me when i spoke to them they said I had 30 days to end my account
as they dont want paypal activity on the saver account

Re: I thought tesco online savers were ok?
 

Yes Tesco you are toooooserssss
