How to open a Tesco Bank savings account
Applying for a Tesco Bank account is always online. You will need documents when applying, though. You could be asked for:
- Photo ID, like a passport or driving licence
- Your address history for the last 3 years
- Proof of address, such as a recent gas or electricity bill
- Proof of your monthly income after tax and national insurance deductions
What are the pros and cons of saving with Tesco Bank?
Pros
- Online and mobile. Manage your savings accounts online or in the Tesco Bank app. Transfer your money between your Tesco accounts and check your balances and transactions.
- Savings card allows cash withdrawals. Some of its instant access savings accounts come with a card which can be used to make ATM withdrawals straight from the account.
- Junior ISA. Made for children that don’t have a trust fund. You can start off small and build up the savings pot over time.
Cons
- Better interest rates elsewhere. Decent rates with some of these options but better ISA and savings account interest rates elsewhere.
- Easy access is not so easy compared to some competitors. Tesco Bank’s main easy access savings account comes with daily withdrawal limits.
- Bonus rates. Look out for “bonus” rates that can drop drastically after an intro honeymoon period. At that point, change to a different Tesco Bank savings account or save with a new bank.
