If I open this account, it’d be my first one with a Sharia bank

Gatehouse are great, have a 5 year fixed with them and easy access.
Prompt payouts ie fixed rate due 21st November arrives 21st November.
Will now have a reg saver as soon as pc boots.1 -
The HSBC regular saver that I hadn't been making deposits to matured yesterday and the money was available for withdrawal this morning: interest has been paid in full with no penalty.11

Worth noting that although the rate is variable, no withdrawals/closure are allowed until the end of the term, unless the rate is reduced.pokemaster said:Gatehouse Bank Regular Saver 7% (paid at maturity)£300 Max Per Month pay inSource: Money Facts7 -
I see you can carry over payments and miss payments plus min pay in is a £1 so I think it's worth a punt.Bridlington1 said:

I'd agree though that with a £1 minimum deposit and the ability to skip months it is worth opening, though £1 is all they're getting from me for the next few months at least due to my circumstances.4 -

Just spoke to Gatehouse.I will not be opening this until Friday the 1th December. As 25th cut off has been missed.Their notes say the same, 25th cut off for the month.Its been raised up the chain.But its up to you to decide if you want the agro that might be caused by this and loss of interest for near on a month.My suggestion was you should have opend this 2 day later.
