    Are you sure? I sent £40,000 to Marcus from Barclays with FP last Thursday and £40,000 by card yesterday

    Had to send a cheque for the deposit because my bank Barclays only allow a bank transfer or debit card transaction up to £10K and on the app it is only £5K per transaction so snail post in the end!

    I thought it was £10k/day on the app.

    If you log on to online banking via a desktop/laptop and PINsentry, then the limit goes up to £50k for standard customers. Assume it's more for Premier customers.

    I have decided to go with the AL Rayan 2 year fixed bond paid out on maturity. They give options for payment on maturity of a) to your external bank account or b) to a new Al Rayan instant access account which could be useful if you want to take out another fixed bond?

    Anybody done this before?

    They send you a form close to maturity date, one of the options is to roll over the fixed rate bond into a new one.

    Al Rayan, can you send multiple smaller amounts or does it have to be a single transfer when funding a fixed term?


    I can't find any mention on their web site.
  • I phoned Al Rayan yesterday, and the person I spoke to advised me not to bother to send the Online Banking postal form, because they're launching a new Online Banking system next month, which you will be able to apply for completely online without having to return any forms.

    You can open a new account online, but to apply for Online Banking you currently have to post a paper form. Apparently that will no longer be necessary from next month (so I was told).

    Does anyone know about the Fixed Term Deposits. A single or multiple transfers? Would save me a phone call.....
