Regular Saver Thread **New and Restarted**

youngretired

Halifax will rollover theirs only if you have a savings account opened otherwise it will convert into a Easy Saver upon maturity.

My family all had these last year when it was 2.5% and only my dad who didn't have any other accounts with HFX/BOS got a Easy saver opened at the same time as the Regular Saver application so his rolled over.

We all had current accounts with either HFX/BOS and so a Easy Saver wasn't opened upon application.

That's the odd aspect of the LBG offering - the maturing funds can only be transferred to a savings account - not to a current account.


Weird...

Yes today. Received an identical envelope which contained someone else’s passbook and maturity cheque with a letter addressed to me. I know mistakes happen, but this is a pretty bad breach of security!

Received my maturity cheque today, £4,262.44. Lodged in bank this morning, will clear by midnight tomorrow, then I can move it to savings and earn some interest.

Question on the new Chorley Members RS Issue 2: I posted my application form, along with cheque for the initial deposit of £250, on 21 May along with maturity instruction form for the one which has just matured. The new one doesn't start until 1 July, so am I safe to assume that my cheque won't be cashed until then?

In theory yes, but better safe than sorry eh!

Over the phone (they called me to confirm they'd received my application and run through the terms), I asked that and they said that they'd not pay in the cheque for the new issue until 1 July.

Bit of a cheek that they converted to the Chorleian account and paid 0.6% interest over the weekend, as they held on to passbooks until Monday morning. 45p lost interest, well I never!
