Do Gatehouse apply payments sent into the EA over the weekend?

i sent a £1 test payment from my nominated account about 1ish this afternoon but not yet arrived at Gatehouse. I checked & double checked all account details before sending the test payment.

In my experience - Deposits made before 1pm arrive on the same day. Deposits made after 1pm should show by close of business the following day. This includes weekends.

So, my £1 test deposit into Gatehouse EA account which was sent around 1pm yesterday, had arrived when I checked first thing this morning.

It was also showing it was credited effective yesterday too 😁

 So I was wrong thinking they only process on business days. Apologies . Still quite glacial compared with the several true instant accounts. The 0.03% advantage doesn’t tempt me to move from Ulster but it’s good to have Gatehouse as a potential backstop in the event Ulster / Cahoot / Santander drop their rates. Gatehouse have a good track record for rates, and they are much easier to open than these three instant access ones.

Has anyone else stopped receiving notifications for posts on bookmarked threads? I’ve not received for any of mine since Friday and have not made any changes to my settings.

same here - but it's been mentioned in the feedback thread, so no doubt MSE are / will be aware of it.

'currently under review' according to their website. 

Hopefully it reviews a tad upwards rather than the other direction!

They must have improved their service then. Their website still states "If you make a deposit before 1pm on a working day, funds will show on your account by close of business the same day. Deposits after 1pm, will show by close of business the following day.".

I wonder if they also process withdrawals at weekends too.

Edit: Just realised they state "close of business the following day" not "working day" which is what I assume they mean.

I don't think there is a general link you can use for the application. You just need to log into online banking and apply from there.

Thats what I did late Friday night.

Made a payment there and then.

Account and payment were visable at 11.00am Saturday morning.
