Such as the Post Office so-called 'Instant' Saver. Is it (issue 31) still paying 1.15%, and does anyone know the time limit (today) for getting money out of it and into my linked account tomorrow?

Probably yesterday judging by the usual Post Office speed. I did a transfer out yesterday evening. It hasn't arrived yet.

Anyone tried transferring in a large amount yet, ie. 10k+?

Yes, no problems, turned up in minutes. I also tested a small withdrawal, it appeared almost instantly. Mildly annoyingly there seemed to be nowhere to enter a reference so it just shows as a Counter Credit against my name in my linked account. I'm not going to die in a ditch about it though

Opening process. Impressive.
I started transferring a small amount of money from link a/c to this newly open a/c arrive in a few minutes.

Transfer back a small amount to the link a/c agai arrive in a few minutes.

I understand one of the main drawbacks is because there is promotional bonus of 0.15%. So after one year the interest will drop to 1.35%.

I might be wrong but I found another drawback is that it will only
allow two way communication between Marcus and link a/c.

Using Faster payment you could only save the money from link account, and transfer money out to the link a/c can not be done tp another accounts.

Or you could see it as an added security measure....as the bank does.

Some people have several bank accounts a/c and need bouncing the money forward and backward multiple times a week..
