HSBC Regular Saver matured overnight. Never disappeared from online banking like it has done previously. It has turned into a Pref Reg Sav paying 2%, but I cannot seem to withdraw from it yet

Mine matured today too.  I transferred the balance to my HSBC current account, and then away from there.

I'll try on the website and see what happens then...

UPDATE I've gone online and managed to transfer it. I'll have to see whether I can do the same with First Direct later in the month

T&C say the Gatehouse account can only be funded from the nominated account. Do we think they won't mind it coming from an internal transfer?
 
 "You can fund your account via bank transfer or cheque, only from your nominated account."

Just wondering if I can get away with opening the account and funding with an internal transfer this late in the day?

ETA I just tried to transfer from one account to another internally and the date of transfer is pre-populated with tomorrow's date. I'm not going to risk an external transfer in getting there in time so I'll just wait and open the account tomorrow.,

I did an internal transfer. It went across fine and shows up in the new regular account. 

The instructions about funding the account is, I think, a general one. It would be a bit petty to stop an internal transfer. Sure it’s actually locking your money away for 12 months with Gatehouse while the other account didn’t, but I will wait and see what happens. 

Yes I think it's a general one to reiterate that you can only transact with the nominated account, they probably didn't think about including internal transfer option in description. I will attempt my second payment by internal transfer tomorrow.

Gatehouse. Transferred £300 from EA to RS and the message said that it will be transferred tomorrow, but few minutes later the money appeared in RS.

Nationwide Start 2 Save @ 5.5%

I think I screwed up my entry for the next prize draw. For November's payment, I made the transfer last night (from my Nw current account) thinking if it's made on 30th November it'll be fine since the transfer is instant. But the date of the payment is shown as 1st December. I suppose they needed the payment in during working hours. Does this mean I'm out of the running for the prize draw?

Having a problem logging in to Coventry (not receiving text or automated call) to open loyalty RS.

Called them and they say the system is very busy at the moment maybe that's reason.

Anyway opened account over the phone which was a simple 5 min process.

Yes, looks like you are out.

Just opened mine online and was very promptly opened, as always with CBS. So it may have been a temporary issue.

Anyone elses standing order from today not yet appeared in their new Gatehouse Regular Saver. Mine left my nominated account about 00.30 this morning but the Gatehouse Regular Saver still only showing the initial £300 I transferred into it on 28/11, which was direct from my Gatehouse Easy Access Account.

Payments from nominated bank account usually appear shortly after 1pm. I’ve sent some money this morning and it has reached GH account a minute ago.
