When I looked it said closed on Scottish Widows. Maybe another account accepts DD instead now.

May be fine for existing customers but not for new?

The Internet Saver account is currently unavailable, but the Instant Saver 2 account is available to new customers, and accepts DDs.

A recent post or two already clarified the position.. maybe worth a read.

I was just explaining why I said it wasn't available, as the OP also said unavailable too. Clearly they've changed the accounts.

My first Post Office DD went into my Post Office saver yesterday. I tried going into move money in, clicking linked account, £1, but when I press next nothing happens?

Or will the DD continue to be taken from now on and I don't have to make it regularly occurring?

When you are setting up a payment for the first time, it can take up to 10 business days for the direct debit to be established. Even once it is set up, transfers in/out are not instant - they usually take about 3 business days. If you click on the icon that looks like three dots next to the account name and then select the "direct debit" tab it should display any scheduled payments - either upcoming, in progress or completed. It's likely your payment will be mentioned there. If you selected a regular payment, the frequency will also be described here, otherwise it will be a one off payment.

PO Saver Issue 35 is now out!

https://www.postoffice.co.uk/savings-accounts/online-saver

Issue 36 has just been released in case people are interested


EDIT: as seems to be tradition with PO Savers, I'd suggest waiting a few days before actually trying to apply so they can iron out the technical issues. Just went to open an Issue 36 account and the confirmation email says I applied for an Issue 32 account! Last time this happened I actually got what the email stated, so if you're after Issue 36 then save yourself some hassle and wait :rotfl:

I was going to ask if anyone else was getting the 'Sorry there's been an error' message when applying!

I had to wait 10 days for the first DD. That went through the other day.

I did as you said, clicked the three dots, then clicked DD, and selected it, but it doesn't give me the other to edit the DD. It's frequency is currently one-off. But i want it to be regular.

I have lots of credit cards and make a small purchase on each,each month, and have them set to be paid off by Direct Debits each month.

The three dots DD option will show the status and active instructions can be edited but not one-off ones that have been completed.


You need to click on the account and then select the "Move money" option. Then select "regular" under type of payment and set up a new instruction.
