I'm off to town today to check a dormant account.

I've had a letter from Santander to say I have q dormant Instant Saver account so I am heading into town to find out how much is in there.

Anyone want to help guess?

For background, I opened the account over 15 years ago and at that time was earning about £28k.

I drove a new car and saved up enough to travel the world, but what is left in this forgotten account.

Did I stash a cheeky grand. Or £100 to open it. Or is it empty or maybe containing £4.36.

I'm quite excited.

What do you all think?

Under £100.

Though I had one that I had not touched for about five years, thought I had only £20 or so, and turned out to be over £1000. Here's hoping for you!!!!

If it is like my nationwide account which is so old I can’t even get into it to close it then I’d say £2.47.

SiblingStruggle · 20/08/2021 11:15

I think it's got to be less than a tenner otherwise you probably would have withdrawn it at a cash point. Hoping it's a much more significant amount though!

If it's not, I would buy a few lottery tickets with the money just in case!

Incywinceyspider · 20/08/2021 11:17

It'll be about £1.81. Don't spent it all at once!

I did this once, had 4 grand in it that I forgot about. I'm going with £32.56 though, it's usually small amounts.

You left 50p to keep the account open and have accrued interest.

FlibbertyGiblets · 20/08/2021 11:22

About £5k?

Or about a tenner.
