    I opened an EA account with Secure Trust Bank on the morning of the 30th March - at the end of the process, there was a message along the lines of (IIRC) 'application complete, some checks to run, we'll be in touch within 5 working days' - to date, no contact of any kind from then, not even a 'welcome' email... are they always this slow? Or does it sound like something has gone wrong?

    How do I see my pay-in details for Chip? Can’t I just make a normal bank transfer? It only allows me to pay in via open banking but Barclays keeps giving me a message that I’m over my daily limit and I’m not sure how much that is, seemingly £10k?

    You can't deposit into Chip by regular bank transfer, only via TrueLayer. You've run up against Barclay's daily limit.

    Does Skipton process withdrawals over bank holiday/weekends, from tracker saving acc or will it be Tuesday now
    Tested a withdrawal earlier. Quoted leaving date was the 11th
    Whats the deal with the future dated ? Did you receive it instantly though? i.e. only the leaving date is future?

    I tested a withdrawal (payment using banking App) from Atom to HSBC current account. It has today's date (Good Friday - So bank holiday). Tested withdrawal from HSBC current account to Atom. Again today's date. 

    Both payments were received instantly. 

    I've seen the future dated scenario when I do a payment ffrom a Halifax bank current account. Pretty sure it's the same with Lloyds also. Maybe the whole group uses same/similar system so that's how come. 

    If the transfer/payment is received instatly and only the date is a future date, how does it affect us (if at all?). Do we get interest on the money tranferred until 11 April 2023  :smiley:

    edit: is the tracker savings account called 'Base Rate Tracker Account Issue 4' or is it something else:

    I'm with Barclays and you can do up to £50k with online banking, but only £10k via the app. So if you need to move more money in future log in the "old way."

     presumably this is to do with paying in to chip account as opposed to transferring out of chip.
