But the D/D hasn't changed to take these into account - it's still at the minimum amount and I can't see an option to change it to take the appropriate amounts (bar manually working it out or manual paying stuff).…

Shawbrook cannot verify their own accounts?
I have just opened a fixed rate bond with Shawbrook and tried to transfer money from my Easy Access account with them to the new bond.

Despite being a…

I had a fairly random thought the other day that I've never had more than £2,300 in my bank account ever. Some people would spend that on a foreign holiday without a second thought! I've worked all my life and am now in my early sixties. I'm now self-employed and earning now quite a bit less than when I was last working…
