Sorry to pick you up but your top link isn't going anywhere.

It was me being idle. I just posted it temp so I could click the sig box link on it to find my way back to the list - just underscoring why the ToTP new page will be useful.

And there it is in my signature box, and for those set to hide signatures, it's here

It's intentional that it takes you to the guidelines first..

Anyone know if YBS (Loyalty 6 Access) credit deposits on a weekend ?

All of my payments have credited on 1st of a month regardless of whether it is a Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday.

Thanks, but is that for the new Loyalty 6 Access saver that's only been available for a couple of weeks or another a/c, not that I'd expect them to have different crediting rules for different a/c.

By inference I am now free to "chat" on this thread. Okay, not really chat but something others may find useful.

The Virgin Money easy access Exclusive ISA is paying 2.25% pa with interest paid annually at the end of December. It does require the VM current account but many will already have this.

This is my go to easy access account now as it is a flexible ISA. I have £10k allowable from a previous year so technically I could have up to £30k.

However, I currently am holding back on this year's £20k in case something else comes up.

I also have this exclusive VM easy access ISA and am very grateful to be able to have it at the moment. However, if before the end of this tax year Virgin Money release a Fixed Rate ISA that has a high enough interest rate over the right length of time to seriously interest me in saving into it, will it be possible for me to transfer the whole of my easy access ISA money into this replacement Fixed Rate ISA please? Also does anyone know whether, if this is allowed, the easy access ISA is closed as part of the internal transfer or whether it remains open with a zero balance please?

I did wonder if the point of the Smart Saver was to be competitive up to a point then once people have boosted their pots they can't get it out and switch cos of the notice period.
