    As Radaday says BOS is Part of Lloyds group. Can i use BOS to pay the £1500 in to club Lloyds to meet their pay in criteria then return it to meet BOS`s if they part of the same group ?.
    Yes, you can.

    If the terms don't specify external funding, then external funding is not required.
  • External funding Is required to meet there Ts&Cs. Or do you mean external as in from outside the Lloyds group.

    Could you provide a link to those terms?

    External funding is not required by Lloyds or TSB or BoS

    I feed 3 Club Lloyds accounts by cycling £1500 between them, by standing order on the same day each month.

    Similarly for my TSB accounts and BoS

    I was using external as meaning 'not the same bank' rather than 'not the same group'. But it's not relevant here.

    can anyone tell me when you have to pay the money into the BoS account.

    Is it best to do it on the first day of the month or can it be payed in at any time of the month to gain the maximum intrest

    The day of the month you fund the account will make no difference if you are keeping the account at a constant balance. Otherwise, you'll earn interest on the money based on the number of days it is in the account, just like any account.

    read the T&Cs that I took the time to post for you in #593. The very next paragraph after the one you were told to read will give you the answer .




    edit; what is really sad, is I don't even have a BoS account yet know what the conditions are.
