Virgin Money Regular Saver Thread

Other sums to be tax returned for 2020/21 from RSs that mature next tax year:
Both Tiptons (31/12/20) - if withdrawable (haven't checked)
Triodos (1/1/21) - if withdrawable (haven't checked)
All the remaining Virgins (I've got six) due on 11/3/21.
There will be others I imagine.

"All the remaining Virgins (I've got six) due on 11/3/21."

You must be very wealthy and have all the right contacts with a lot of churches around the world to be able to buy all those statues of Mother Mary by 11/3/21!

Matured and moved out this morning.  Already in my nominated account.

Yep, same here.   Matured and closed. Money received in nominated account.

We only got a further £32.42 each in interest, as we had to withdraw the main balance early for other needs.

Closed and money in my account Today. Nicely done on a non-work day. I had also lost a few pennies of interest having withdrawn some in January to pay for a new boiler, but the nice interest and easy access made this a great product and served well as part of my emergency fund.

MDMD - "Just to check, the double interest thing doesn’t work anymore does it?"

Those days are gone! Many thanks to Karlie 88. Hope she is OK.

Does anyone know if there is any particular pattern of adjusting interest rates on the post-RS "e-saver reward" accounts? I know the latest one is currently at 0.35% but some of the earlier issues are more than that; issues 26 and 27 at 0.5%, issues 24 and 25 at 0.75%, issues 22 and 23 at only 0.35% but issue 21 is at 0.5%. Just wondering if there could be a strategy around keeping some of these open in case the rates start to look attractive, relative to elsewhere.

When the RS matures you have a choice between closing the new e-Saver account or keeping it going by keeping at least £1 in it. All of my e-Savers are Read Only now as I closed them all on each maturity. I'd have liked to still have the one at 0.75% with the benefit of hindsight!

The Tipton interest is not withdrawable till maturity, so it falls into 2021/22.
The Triodos interest is withdrawable with 33 days notice so it does fall into 2020/21.

Is the interest counted as being in the tax year that it is paid into your savings account, or when you withdraw it from that account? Thanks
