    Hi

    I recently opened an internet Savers account and am having trouble paying money into it from an account not with Tesco. When adding the new payee, none of my banks are able to verify the account details. Whilst some banks allow you bypass this check there are some that do not.
    How long does it take before the account details can be verified?

    @andy2102 Hey Andy, thanks for getting in touch.

    While I believe there is no time limit for this, there are new safety procedures put in place last year across all banks to help ensure money is being sent to the correct place; sometimes problems can arise when the names do not match across the accounts.

    If you are sure everything is matching and still having this problem, you can give our team a call on 0345 678 5678 (Weekdays 8 - 8 and Weekends 9-3)

Need some help?
