According to their T&Cs... "if you ask us to send your money after 3.30pm or on a non-business day, we may not make your payment until the following business day."

I've never requested a transfer on a Saturday or Sunday but have done the odd one after business hours on a Friday evening (around this time) and it's been received within minutes if you were thinking about transferring now - no guarantees though, I guess.

I've always found them reliable, the payments are usually a little slower on a weekend but only by an hour or two at most.

Yorkshire BS has launched Internet Saver Plus (issue 12) which currently pays the same interest rate as the previous issue: 1.60% (on £50K+), 1.55% (£10K+) and 1.25% (£1 - £9,999).

Weirdly, IMO, same rate as Iss11. 
What's the point of that?

Thanks for that.
Two payments made early today went through within minutes.
Probably a bit slower as the day progresses.

For Al-rayan everyday-saver-issue-3

It says here minimum Balance is £5,000

https://www.alrayanbank.co.uk/savings/everyday-saver-issue-3

But from here it says Minimum opening balance £5000.

Also the interest is calculated daily.

Does anyone know what will happen if you put initially £5,000 during the month dropped below £5000 for  a few days. Do not you get interest during this period or they will close your account??

I have issue 2 which had a deposit minimum of £2500. When the Issue 3 was released, i transferred total balance of Issue 2 over.

My issue 2 is still open, and i expect due interest will be added at end of the month.

What i understand is that a deposit of at least £5000 is required to open the Issue 3, i don't believe there is a requirement to maintain the balance above £5000 after that.

Would you please report the result when your issue 2 interest is paid

Interest paid on the issue 2 correctly.

Sadly still no option for monthly interest payable to a external account

I assume that the rates will diverge in the near future, with issue 12 pulling ahead of issue 11. Strange not to start it at a higher rate though!

Maybe so they have the option of increasing the rate paid on issue 12 later, without (necessarily) having to pay more to all those holding money in issue 11?
