    I have 12 dormant accounts and £500 in a NS&I direct saver ( really need to close this). So £511, I will donate if they do  a remake of The Dambusters..



    With or without the dog's name and codeword...

    Dear forum community my comment was indisputably pure-minded simply because the film happens to be a favorite of mine. I would like to add further comment to David but alas it will serve no point to this thread or the forum at large.....Message ends!

    Is there an advantage having £500 in the direct saver? I only have £1 in mine

    I had to log in and check, it’s actually a Income bond @ 3.65%  and a minimum £500 to keep open which I will now close thanks to your prompt.  





    Quick thing, I've never had £500 in mine, just wondering where it told you you had to keep that amount in, don't want mine being closed down.

    @soulsaver
    Coventry's Four Access Saver Issue 2 at 4.8% appears to be absent from the list too.

    EDIT:
    Monument EA at 4.85% and Chorley Single Access at 4.8% are also missing.

    you could probably argue that Monument @ 4.85% (£25k across all accounts) is missing too.

    I must be suffering from heatstroke because I need the account open to get my whoopee-doo Halifax fiver.

    Then I deduce that you are a millennial and you don't like hot weather or rugby, David is generation X, and the boomers parent’s on here got us through a war that would change this country for evermore and quite frankly we all should forget about it.

     If you mean what I think you mean, then you can do the same with the Direct Saver.  I too had kept my Income Bond going, with the required minimum of £500, but closed this yesterday and replaced it with the Direct Saver, min £1.  Unless, I'm also suffering from heatstroke and have done the wrong thing.

    Fair play to this forum and the hive of collected minds. Sometimes I just can’t see the wood for the trees, maybe is it lack of critical thinking or apathy on my part.

    Anyway thanks for that, it is now on my to do list for Monday morning.
