    This shouldn't be how wait until maturity works, once the request from the new bank is received by the current bank, it should simply be held until the maturity date, for example Ford say in their confirmation "We will hold the request on file until your account matures ... Once this date is reached, we’ll then proceed with your request."
  • My recently opened Chip easy access ISA has fallen from 4.42% to 3.86% today. Ouch!

    Think I'll let the dust settle and look to move in the new year.

    Same here. How does that work as I thought it was a tracker?

    I'm even more annoyed as I tried 3 times to transfer to a Barclays fixed rate in the past few weeks but they were so pedantic. I gave up in the end.

    Submitted a transfer via Tembo earlier today before I noticed the rate drop.

    Their ears must be burning as mine has just increased by 0.25% which is what I was expecting.

    Worth checking with them or perhaps Principality whether there is an issue?
    I opened an RBS fixed isa on 16th & requested T212 to RBS on evening of 16th, RBS confirmed transfer request sent to T212 morning of 17th, T212 confirmed transfer to RBS afternoon of 17th, showing in RBS this morning. Can't complain about that :)

    Checked with Principality account and they state it could take up to 15 "business days" so will hope it's close.
