And how ?
Keep in mind not many people here use their real name/ID

I guess if you're using a unique ID, a separate email address and not accessing via a mobile you use with financial apps you should be reasonably safe. Scammers seemingly have an ever increasing range of tools and means of scraping information.

My account is supposed to mature today. They sent me a letter of options, but basically said if you don't reply, it will convert to a standard savings account and your money will be available to transfer to your nominated account.

Should this happen today....any idea on timescales? Is it a case of keep checking to see when it's happened, or will it not happen until close of business today?

Anyone else got experience of this?

Just by way of an update. Monmouthshire RS (2.5%)

The interest was showing as credited by about lunchtime yesterday, but still showing as the RS account. This morning it had converted to a standard saver, so I have requested an electronic payment to my linked account first thing this morning for the whole balance....so we'll see when it arrives!!?

First Trust accepting mainland UK applications for its 2.75% reg saver - there is a however tho - you have to open a current account and send them copies of your passport / driving license + bank statement or utility bill. Given that you can deposit up to £500 per month it's a worthy consideration tho (with full FSCS protection).

Looks like a really good account, but according to the website it looks like you need to call into a branch to open an account, and all the branches are in NI

you can print an app. form and post, but they want ID. COPIES as prev stated, or (surely) originals ??
