    I wish to close the savings account which I opened completely online ( my main bank now has a 5.1% savings account ). Can I not close this account and collect the interest due, also online, or do I have to call a chargeable telephone number ?
    Thank you

    Hey @Dyserthbloke, thanks for getting in touch šŸ™‚

    Iā€™m sorry to hear you're looking to close your account.

    The quickest way to get the account closed is to give us a call on 0345 678 5678 (Mon - Fri: 8am - 6pm, Sat - Sun: 9am - 2pm) and our team can close it for you straight away. Calls to 03 numbers cost no more than a national rate call to 01 or 02 numbers and may count towards any inclusive minutes in the same way as 01 and 02 calls.

    You can also send a letter with your details and signature to Tesco Bank, PO Box 27017, Glasgow, G2 9FH to close the account by post.

    Just so you know, if you need to close your joint account, either party can do this. If you want to remove an account holder, both account holders need to be present when calling and pass security.
