Just managed to open my Al Rayan Everday Savers at 2.35% and I notice the minimum deposit is 5k. Does this have to be done in the first transfer? Bit confused sorry if I sound stupid here 

no, you can do 1 £ as test payment, which i did. and then once it reached the account, i then sent over 5k.

Thank you! I get my monthly interest on the 8th from Zopa should I wait until then to move it over or would it be fine to move it all now? Would I still get the interest off of Zopa for this month? 

if i was you, i would start moving now, leave a £ in zopa, the interest will be added on the 8th after which you can close off zopa

I will be opening an Al Rayan account today and start moving over from Zopa. I'm not sitting on my hands any longer.

Re Gatehouse. Anyone have further info? I'm a bit puzzled as to what 'Under Review' means. Closed to new applicants? Or closing down...

Just spoke to Gatehouse about the easy access account.

No rate rise, in fact the easy access account has been withdrawn.

Off to Charter for me

Perhaps not...

@soulsaver Charter EA Issue 28 no longer available.

Many Thanks, actioned

@financialbliss that spotted it/flagged it up.

Someone reported yesterday that Gatehouse closed for new applications as they are oversubscribed

Is transferring from Zopa to Al Rayan a smooth process?

Just moved over my money but Zopa would only allow me to withdraw to my verified account so had to move back to my Halifax Current account then into Al Rayan..... All very smooth, money went in within 10-20 mins. Al Rayan get the thumbs up from me so far. App is a little tricky but other than that all good

Do zopa have a daily withdrawal limit?
