    Thanks for this information. I need to visit the branch anyway to close the matchday saver that ended yesterday, but don't really want to go out in this weather at the moment.

    Actually pretty efficient I’ve found to close in writing by sending them passbook and bank details a week or so before maturity....received proceeds of the matchday saver into my nominated account yesterday.

    2.55% AER is a reasonable interest rate. Unfortunately £3000 is the maximum deposit unlike the early issue which had a maximum deposit of £6000 which you could run for almost 24 months.

    What are Leeds like for on line management and withdrawals for these accounts ? Their T&Cs and website seem very non committal and with my nearest branch being 70 miles away I don't really want to be stuck with postal.

    Not great.
    If an account is maturing, you can supply details in advance and on maturity you get a free electronic transfer - in the past it has worked fine for me.
    Outside of this, it's trickier. I don't think you can withdraw online as I've had to fill in a form, and there's a charge for electronic withdrawals (free if you'll accept a cheque).
    My experience is that they tend to be very bureaucratic and paper driven which is disappointing given their size.

    Leeds BS shut their branches, call centre and online service for the whole of this weekend to upgrade their IT system. There's a new online service, which hopefully will provide more services than previously.

    I notice that in the newer issues, they stopped issuing passbooks, so hopefully these accounts will become managable fully online.

    I'm surprised that so may posters are still doing regular savings, considering that NH&I are doing a 2.2% with minimal withdrawal penalties.

    There's a 90 day interest penalty on withdrawals. I guess it depends on your priorities and personal circumstances, as to which account works out best.
