    If it is £250 pcm and 2% from 1/112019 until 20/12/2020 then it will yield approximately £11.45 more than the same amounts deposited in a 1.45% Marcus account.

    That does the trick for me! Opened and funded.

    Virgin RS 19 has also disappeared.

    (It was there just over an hour ago)
    The VM staff member who closed my matured Issue13 this morning, told me that Issue19 will be continue to be available for a few days for those who have booked an appointment to open one.

    Has anyone received Chorley BS regular saver maturity funds by cheque today please ?

    No.

    This would have been my 34th Virgin RS had it been a better interest rate. End of an era indeed.
  • If it had been a branch account I wouldn't have bothered for 2% as the cost of travelling to the branch wouldn't have made it worthwhile. However as it is online & I already have log on details etc I opened one.
  • You never know, VM E RS issue 13 may pay double interest on 20 Dec 2020. Effective rate of 4pc (?)

    But probably not. The glitch was sorted in time for issue 12 maturity in August.

    Me too! Hobbled into town to close the store account. Now opened the new online one.

    Last year I had 14 RS accounts, now down to six. Different times indeed.

    First class post tends to arrive next day, except when account closures by cheque are concerned it seems, Progressive B.S cheque took 3 days to arrive and I am only 30 miles away from Chorley which indicates missed last post yesterday if sent 1st class. :(

    Virgin say the new Regular Saver will attract £43.75 interest after 14 monthly deposits of £250. Where am I going wrong when I calculate that money would be better off earning 1.45% in a Marcus account for 14 months?
