Did it work? Surely not.....

£2750 returned.

I phoned them explaining the situation and the message that's displayed, they asked for a screen shot, they phoned back later and apologised. They offered the difference in the loss of interest had I deposited £3k for 1 year @ 2.3% - so got just over £30.

They're now my 2nd favourite bank/BS after Virgin Money.

Presumably because you've profited more from Virgin's mistakes:p

You should have told them you had expected to deposit £3k per month for the full year

Have any of the major banks yet introduced this faster clearance of cheques, which would be an encouragement? Santander haven't.

Yes, including, I believe, some branches of Santander. No bank is doing a wholesale overnight introduction. It is being rolled out on a branch by branch basis, so your local Santander may not have yet, but others will. The same is true for other banks. The only way to know is to ask the bank.

Hi Everybody,


I am on my way to the airport for a holiday. Trying to do the weekly update using my smartphone is a lot more difficult than I would have guessed so I shall do the next update when I return from holiday.

My Norwich & Peterborough RS was transferred to the Yorkshire Building Society's online system today, smoothly as far as I can tell. One unexpected bonus of the platform switch: £30 interest has been credited to the account effective today, even though none is contractually due until the anniversary of account opening some months hence!

Now I'll just need to switch my SO payment details from N&P to YBS, and pick up a replacement passbook from any YBS branch.

not sure if this is the right place to post (spot the newbie) I'm looking for advice on a feeder account for my kids (both under 11

They have £3k each in savers. they've just got new regular saver accounts--I want the 3k to drip feed into their regular savers at the max of £100pcm but the nice person at the Halifax seemed to think that had to come from my account. That can't be the right or for that matter best, way surely! Its the kids money in their accounts--I don't want to take it our of their account and put it in my account and drip feed it--not least because then all the money they've piled up from grandparents and aunts and uncles over the years looks like its coming from me

grateful for any insight/advice
