     I tried to fund my 3 Halifax Reward Current Accounts a couple of weeks ago with 3 * £1500 from Virgin.  The first one went through, the next two failed.  I moved £3000 to a long established Lloyds account and funded Halifax from there instead.


    You can if it's any easier for you to, just transfer £1500 to one Halifax Reward Current Account, and then just move it to the 2nd account and then to the 3rd.
    I do that every month without any issues.

    Opened a Chase current account Today, then the Easy Saver, and transferred a bunch of sub-1.5% easy access savings into it.

    Chase were  having a problem at their end too because of the volume of deposits

    I did 4x large amounts to Chase savings in space of a few mins (as had to split into several transactions) and the final one was received instantly but the first three still not arrived three hours later. Spoke to Chase and they acknowledged an issue at their end because of the high volume of deposits being received today. Could not give timescale of when would be received but said to call tomorrow if still not there.

    Was also told cumulative withdrawal limit across all Chase accounts (including debit card payments from the current account) of £25k per day.

    Chase seems to be coping better today with payments into their accounts practically instant

    It's not as easy rounding up petrol pumps to £1.01 any more, a tiny squeeze of the trigger and it jumps up by a couple of quid
