The Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area

This offer is not comparable to easy access products. It's a 'difficult access' savings account loaded with restrictions. Can be good for locals and those who enjoy sending letters and cashing cheques... Yes, I think they are aiming for a bit of cash flow, but don't want to be flooded.fletcher1985 said:how come Hanley Economic BS can offer 4.25% and others are far lower. is it just get a big cash flow?2 -
Apparently they can arrange a FP to a NBA if you send in the passbook and a letter with a wet signature etc.allegro120 said:

Does anyone what is the cut off time on a working day for sending a payment into a Kent Reliance savings account (and for it to clear that day?). The website only mentions about 3.30pm being the cut off time for withdrawals, and for payments in just says: "The funds will usually be available as cleared funds in your account on the same working day we receive them." I made a payment at 3pm and hasn't yet shown on the account.0

It's far too much hassle for £500 withdrawal, definitely a non-starter for me.ForumUser7 said:

Faster payment withdrawals must be greater than or equal to 500 and less than or equal to 10,000 or you’ll incur a fee.BigBlueSky said:

Thank you. I assume there is nothing to stop you doing multiple £10,000 FP withdrawals though to avoid any fees.ForumUser7 said:

I'm personally not interested in the Hanley Economic 4.25% account, since I don't really keep much money in an easy access account for any length of time. I get my pay at the end of the month, and then the 1st of the month I move most of it into loads of different regular savers (all of which are paying more than 4.25% anyway).
The easy access account I have is then just used as a temporary 'home' for some remaining money for mid-month bills and a couple of other regular savers whose SO dates I can't change (HSBC/First Direct) until I can put the money into those towards the end of the month.
So I think the way I use my easy access account isn't compatible at all with the Hanley Economic one in terms of it's restrictive withdrawals and how you have to write a letter to get any transactions done, but I'm sure there are some people that will see it as worth going for depending on their circumstances.

Kind of, only 1 penalty free withdrawal per month. Depends how quickly you wanted to withdraw funds. What I would do is open their instant access account, request TFR from branch saver, and then do multiple FPs out of the IABigBlueSky said:

It’s also 330pm for deposits from what I was told. I have previously done a payment around 3pm on a Friday and it didn’t show till Monday but was dated Friday.S_uk said:Does anyone what is the cut off time on a working day for sending a payment into a Kent Reliance savings account (and for it to clear that day?).
