Not sure how much you're trying to withdraw but when I tried to withdraw over £1,000 back in April I got a similar message. At the time I was told there was a bug in version 2 of the iOS app which was preventing manual withdrawals over £999. I was however able to make withdrawals in smaller chunks without problem.
I would have hoped they would have fixed that bug by now though.0 -

£10K at 5% where??
In the new application:
- Click on the downward-facing green arrow adjacent to the savings sum in the top right-hand corner
- Click on 'Information' in the bottom right-hand corner
- A screen appears with all the necessary information you appear to want

I use Money Lover apknite to manage my spending. It can link to the bank account to but I don't dare to do that. :money:0

It was the mind-blowing sum of £131 - the interest / bonus earned in my year with Chip.
They did actually get back to me on Thur and promised it would be paid within 48 hours.
Guess what? still no money!
tbh I'll just let the ombudsman sort them out in a couple of weeks time.0 -
Glad I withdrew all my money and cancelled the direct debit earlier this year!
I knew I saw this coming.I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0 -

Your money may go "down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... I got all tricked up and came up to this thing, lookin' so fire hot, a twenty out of ten..."0 -

Well, I requested all of mine, I got majority of it (I guess all the money I put in) minus the interest/bonus. They said that comes from "another provider" or something like that and said it takes a week. I have chased them today as it's been a week0 -
I've just withdrawn mine down to the £12.24 bonus, or 'invalid amount' as it seems to be called now.
Let's see if anyone can get their bonus payment.Retired 1st July 2021.

I noticed on the app that it wasn't telling me the intrest rate, I assumed that it was App upgrade and they had removed it, I was wrong, at the end of a year bonus you intrest falls to 0%, what is the point of a so called savings account if it doesn't pay intrest?
Sounds like time to close the account.
