Hiya,
Basically a virtual sealed pot is an on-line savings account that you transfer money too. I have my virtual sealed pot with the Halifax and I transfer all money down to the nearest £10 every Friday, but you can transfer whenever you want to.
For example, if in Friday morning I had £119.98 in my current account I would transfer £9.98. Others round down to the nearest £5 ( so that would be a transfer of £4.98 based in the example above).
However much to transfer, it soon adds up, have a look at some of our signatures for some totals from previous years.
If you would like to join us Palema will allocate you a number :A
There is a better explanation in post 1 of this thread, so have a quick look
