    I agree that's usually the case..but from their terms:

    3.10 You must pay your opening deposit into your account within 7 days of your application being accepted or before the product is closed to new applications (whichever happens first).

    They may cut near misses some slack, but I wouldn't hang around.

    Well spotted!

    I assume there is no issue adding funds to an already opened account once it has been withdrawn from sale ?

    You mean 'already initially funded'? Yep, should be no problem.
    Open & empty may be a problem.

    Sorry. Yes, already funded, just additional funds.

    Worked fine for me. I opened and transferred £1k on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday evening, after it had been closed to new applications, I transferred some more in. It had safely arrived in my Nottingham account when I logged in first thing this morning.

    As the previous poster said, no problem using the account if you've already opened it. It's just closed for new applications. I couldn't find the interest rate online after I saw it had been pulled so gave them a call to check everything was ok - answer was to look on the 'closed accounts' part of the interest rates page and you'll see the esaver version 9 there in all its 1.55% glory.


    Well done to all those who managed to open one and fund it before it was pulled!
