  I have just opened the orange everyday account. I have had the savings maximiser for more than a year now. But for some reason, I can’t transfer money from my savings to everyday account. It is possible the other way? But not from savings account to the everyday account. It doesn’t show up as linked accounts. Please advise if I am missing something.
