    In one of your posts you mentioned leaving a £1 from your maturing RS. Why was this ? To make it easier to open a new RS ...?

    Badger's reply pretty much sums it up. :)

    My 3% account matured, and I didn't fancy a 2% account, but I left £100 in a new 2% account because according to the guy on the phone having at least £100 in an account qualifies me as a 'member' and so eligible for future products.
    Would be worth you clarifying whether just £1 would do it or whether you need £100.

    I left in the matured reg saver which had reverted to an instant access savings account - was told 1p was sufficient but I thought I'd be generous.

  • Colsten, can I ask what your interest was? Mine matures on 29 July, after 12 payments of £300 (29 July 2016 and each 1st of month August 2016 to June 2017).
