Anyone know how to re-activate a Natwest e-ISA?
Mine was deactivated after I didn't put anything in it for a while (not had the money to). But I start my new job tomorrow so I'm going to be able to start putting some money away now.

If I schedule a bank transfer for tomorrow to another person's account, what time will the payment actually be debited from my account. I'm not talking about a Standing Order or Direct Debit.

Notice required to end standing order
If I have a regular monthly SO set up (say to go out on 29th of the month) and I intend to cancel it now online (the 14th) does that give them at my bank enough notice?

This is not so much a money-saving tip as a time- and frustration-saving tip. It is: don't bank with Santander! We have had various problems with them in the past. The current one is a credit card that has stopped working. It is in front of me as I write, yet Santander tell me they think it has been returned to them, so…
