What should I do with inheritance?

  • Can anyone help me here please.

    I have opened a Flexclusive Regular Saver and only activated it about a month later.

    I paid £500 in today the 2nd march.

    It states £500 a month must be paid in to abide.

    So do I pay £500 in on the 2nd of every month to abide?

    What if i pay it on the 5th march for instance?

    Does this mean interest earned will be held back?

    Can anyone help please?

    Where does it say that?

    http://www.nationwide.co.uk/~/media/MainSite/documents/products/savings/terms-and-conditions/P3026-flexclusive-regular-saver-terms-and-conditions.pdf

    You can pay in UP TO £500 pm. It doesn't matter what date, and you can pay in say £100 x 5 if you wish.

    The earliest you can pay in your next £1 - £500 is 1st April. If you pay any more in in March, the excess will be rejected.

    Its all set out very clearly in the T&Cs:cool:

    Nope, you have to arrange this yourself either via a standing order or manually transfer the money across yourself.

  • Cheers George, my bank does a sweep so anything over a set amount each month goes into savings. I wonder if the sweep will automatically put money into the regular saver if I open it up?

  • Can I put in £3325 then do 11 payments of £25 to get to the maximum of £3600 or can I only put in the max of x number of months x £300.

    i.e month 1 max £300, Month 2 max £600, Month 3 Max £900 etc.

    Depends what the T&Cs say so best to check. Nationwide it's £500 max per month

    Drink, women and fast cars.

    Not necessarily in that order.

    And just squander the rest

    It depends on the T&Cs

    Some banks do set up the SO for you. Right now I can't remember which, but I have some of them:o
