[FONT=&quot]What was announced so far was the technological side to let people tracking their spending.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]But did people subscribe to digital banking like Monzo, Revolut because they want to keep tracking where the money go or because of their perk for withdrawal and/or purchase in foreign currency?[/FONT]

A stupid question perhaps. If a cheque was credited for the end of the month does the standing order need to be the same date. Or can it be any day in the month.

It depends on the account.

If you are talking about the Monmouthshire Celebration RS then the second and subsequent payments can go in on any day of the month. So you don't have to wait for the end of the month for your SO.

In fact you could make the second month's contribution by faster payment today, which is what I'll be doing later this afternoon.

Some accounts (e.g Santander, M&S, HSBC) insist on the SO payment date being on the same day of the month, or won't give you extra interest if you pay in early.

Your faster payment or standing order does not show until the next day with Monmouthshire BS as per their FAQ's.

"As we are a building society not a bank, all electronic payments are first received by our bank account. We then have to wait for these to be uploaded to our customers’ accounts, which is done each day before we open for business at 9am. If you are a registered ‘My Accounts’ user, it may be that this upload was done after this service was updated in the early hours of the morning. Please be assured, that although there may be a delay in the payment being available for updating on your passbook, or being viewed via 'My Accounts', it will have been credited to your account as at the date it reached our bank account and that interest will be accrued based on that date."

Saffron BS, YBS, Leeds BS are all building societies but todays payments are showing.

Yes, not to do with being a Building Society or a Bank, but whether it goes through a holding account - i.e. Monmouthshire goes through their holding account with HSBC, and you have to add your account as a reference, hence the delay, and some Banks do this too, generally the challenger banks that don't offer current accounts.


N.B. I'm not a expert on this, just my observation.

Thank you for explaining. Yesterday's payment showing in account now with yesterday's date.

Issue 16 of the Virgin Money Regular Saver has a maturity date of 1 May 2020. When would we typically expect to see the next issue released?

If the pattern continues, I'd guess early June.

It would be convenient to collect from the maturity of Number 10 in the same visit

At long last, Nottingham BS has just announced a new RSA: the "Member Rewards Regular Saver". However, at a far from generous 1.60% rate, this one certainly doesn't interest me.

I agree its not their best offering - but with a £500 max per month limit, two annual penalty withdrawals allowed, no end date to the product or bonus stated it might fit ok for some.
