    Mine was handled very efficiently - I sent book and request  by post about ten days before maturity and the funds were in my bank account on 1 July

    would someone provide the link to printing off the withdrawal form to an outside account please.

    I find this form very confusing. I want to electronic transfer to another bank, which is option C, but the only place to enter an amount or request closure is under option A, which I don't want. So what do I do? Tick both A and C and fill in the relevant parts of A only?

    It is a confusing form. I think the best interpretation is that under a) you’re deciding between two options - transferring an amount, or closing (so you tick one of those); and then after that decision you tick one of options b, c, or d to determine whether the transferred or closed amount is paid by cheque, electronic transfer or CHAPS.
  • Hi guys, how often do they issue the regular saving accounts now? I heard it was once every couple of months, is this still the case? If so i presume you can keep opening the new issues.
    Cheers

    It seems to still be every two months, yes.
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    The letter arrived today re the maturity of Issue 18 on September 1st. I've always pitched the info about the EA Saver that comes with it, but at 0.75% I may keep it in mind.
    This is the store Issue 18, for clarity!

    The regular e-saver issue 18 paying 1% to 20/09/21 is now available. Many thanks to @JamesRobinson48 for posting this on the regular saver thread.

    Why not? It's the equivalent of a deposit account; admittedly for small sums at the start, and it's fixed.
