Leeds & Holbeck Interest
Just viewed my Leeds & Holbeck Online Saver to make a withdrawal and noticed that they have shown the interest as credited for the 31st July 05. This is also available to withdraw. Now today is Wednesday 27th. I know the 31st is Sunday. But is it normal to give this money in advance or am I losing 2/3 working days interest?
