Exactly lol......people normally know EXACTLY when their RS expire.....most people have smart phones, so set a reminder 34 days before. For the non smart phone people surely you have a calendar or a diary, if you say you don’t have a 2021 calendar or diary to write the reminder in, then just write the 34 day before date next to 31/12/20 for you to add when you get next years calendar or diary-surely not rocket science lolliamcov said:So how about giving them 33 days notice 34 days before the account matured so it doesn’t get transferred to the other account?1 -

That one has already been added to the list, as you can see from the post just 3 above yours. If you page back a bit, you will see that this account has also recently been discussed in some detail in this thread.London7766551 said:https://www.triodos.co.uk/savings/regular-savings#fixed-regular-saver

Just h.u. on the Triodosh (lol) RS account: In the application you need to nominate a linked account.
As is not un usual, you can w/d to only it... but in this (IK not unique) case you can only pay in from it too. If that doesn't suit, then you can't alter it on line - it's a written instruction.
And if it's a written instruction... you needed to have returned the specimen signature form otherwise it'll not be actioned.
Edited - see few below post. Just first payment needs to come from nominated ac.

This has started to appear on a number of savings accounts. There is less risk of money laundering, misdirected payment fraud etc.soulsaver said:Just h.u. on the Triodosh (lol) RS account: In the application you need to nominate a linked account.

I read it as the first payment has to come from the nominated account, but not necessarily the subsequent ones. I've set up my 2nd - 12th payments to come from a different account (my usual "feeder") so if I'm wrong I'll have to update my standing orders. I'll have another look at the T&Cs - thanks for the heads up.soulsaver said:Just h.u. on the Triodosh (lol) RS account: In the application you need to nominate a linked account.

It's fixed though, and in a years time that could be a headlining rate!kaMelo said:1.25% for a regular saver is terrible really........1 -
Ah I just re read the letter... and you're right it may be read that way.garfield33 said:

So I checked with Triodosh and they confirmed you CAN set up future payments from other than the nominated bank.
Thanks, I'll edit my original post accordingly.

Exactly what I do thanks... Although I've been told I'm old fashioned for still having a diary rather than putting every aspect of my life on my phonevernall said:
