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.I must be suffering from heatstroke because I need the account open to get my whoopee-doo Halifax fiver.
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.
I didn't see that you have said it was an "income bond" and was looking all through the "direct saver" information for the £500 minimum lol.... Yeah direct saver is great you can even put in £1.01 for the Natwest/RBS round ups, if you have those accounts too

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but it doesn’t appear to be in @soulsaver 's top 10 list. Principality Double Access rose to 4.85% last week, just above Chip.
