Hi, I'm hoping someone can advise with an issue I'm facing please.

I successfully renewed my Halifax Regular Saver on 28/03/24 to an Everyday Saver through Halifax online banking. All went as planned - I received a payment with the balance and accrued interest which I subsequently transferred to my current account.

I have tried multiple times on the 28th, 29th and today to do the same with my BOS Monthly Saver (I have tried BOS online banking and Halifax online banking), but I keep getting the below error.

Any advice please?

Had same problem with BOS Monthly saver so had to wait for maturity.

Thanks for your response. Is this a recent issue?

Not sure. Maybe a glitch in the system.

Tried to renew since the beginning of Feb but got the same message as you.

Hopefully they haven’t finally blocked the renewal trick… Could be testing it on one brand, before transferring to Lloyds as well

Have you emptied the a/c?

I seem to remember that BOS works different to Halifax and with BOS you can't renew if there's a balance. Maybe the unhelpful message is because of this?

I have had the very same problem with the Bank of Scotland renewal. Nothing has worked trying to move money around (short of closing the account which I have not done) so I will just wait until renewal on 2 April. Lloyds and Halifax renewed without any problems. In my vain attempts, one thing I did notice though is the Bank of Scotland account accepted new money yesterday as if it were April's contribution - so potentially there is a few days extra interest on weekends or bank holidays, but maybe not if they calculate interest based on the working day the transaction is logged against. Any willing volunteers to test that and earn/lose a few pennies?!

I don't have a BoS account, but I get this message a lot with Halifax and Lloyds.  It happens every time I try to log in to check all my Reward criteria have been met, and I think every time I've renewed a monthly saver.  Strangely, it normally comes up with that error the first time but works if I log back in immediately and try again.

Anyone know if TSB internal standing orders leave tomorrow or 2nd April?

I have one dated to leave 1st April.

You'll find out tomorrow! But I suspect TSB's computer systems are ancient, so they don't work bank holidays

I'm guessing nothing happens tomorrow because it's still Easter BANK HOLIDAY weekend 🙄😏.

Everything will go back to normal on 2nd April

I took out the Club Lloyds regular saver out last year 5th June at max saving £400 pm. when does the account finish. At the moment from 1st April I have £4400 in the account so my 12th transfer would be 1st May taking it to £4800.
or will I get the chance to do a 13th transfer on 1st June

12 months after opening, over the last 7 years most of the interest payments have been paid the day before the anniversary but a couple were paid on the anniversary

You can make a 13th payment on 1st June
