On the moneysupermarket.com page on this account, it says you can deposit £100 - £500 per month. It also says you can access your money after 36 months (perhaps they mean access it penalty-free), which is also not stated on the Hanley Economic website. If anybody finds out any more then let us all know and I can put more detail in my entry on page 1 of this thread.

There is a further conflict between Moneysupmarket and Hanley, ie Moneysupermarket says:

Deposits and withdrawals

• Withdrawals are allowed with this account (maximum 1 per annum).

Hanley Economic B.S adopted a locals only policy many years ago and whilst a postcode restriction is not mentioned I will be surprised if it doesnt still have such a restriction in place for new savings accounts.

Just got a call from our Santander Branch reconfirming an appointment for Monday, still no idea of if/when their new regular saver will be openable on line.


Contrast that with opening a Charter Savings 1year f/r account online with no probs and I'm not even an existing customer of theirs.

Yes, I've checked mine today and interest has been added. I'll be logging in daily to see when they might have sent out my cheque:o

Mine is still sitting there as a Sunshine Saver and without interest added. It might be because I was slower opening the account. My opening deposit cheque did not clear until October 9 2014. The value date for my first deposit was October 2 2014.

It will probably appear on Monday ArchiBald.

My first transaction shows Cheque Post Rec 1/10/14 and my interest appeared online today, credited yesterday 1st - in line with T&C.

As your matures on a Saturday, interest should be credited on Monday but it probably won't be visible online until Tuesday.

Then just the cheque to wait for then:cool:

Chorley Sunshine Account

For those of you with this account with online access, please could you post how much interest accrued on the account?
Unfortunately, I'm unable to collect my cheque until next week.

£482.11 gross on a fully subscribed account.

The MSE calculator is normally pretty accurate for these things:

Hi hope someone can help me, have read back but can't find the answer I'm looking for.

I have recently opened a TSB reg saver, made a first deposit via FPI through a non tsb bank then set up a regular payment from same account but it's not gone in as a SO its gone in as another FPI, this is the 2nd payment I've made.

I'm aware that payments need to be made by SO to qualify for intrest, but only realised this after I made 1st payment, now I'm concerned as the regular payment I set up is showing as FPI, Will I qualify for intrest? Or would I be best to cancel the reg payment and set up a new SO from my TSB account. TIA for any help.
