    Did anyone else have the Ecology Regular Saver (and Easy Access) Direct Debits bounce back to their current accounts yesterday please? Account had sufficient funds, so not sure why. Thank you
    Mine hasn't been taken yet. Just assumed its because of the Bank Holidays. Luckily it's attached to my Club Lloyds, which I keep at -£50 for the free overdraft, so don't actually need it for the interest 
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Lloyds CL MS 6.25

    Withdrawn all funds to close and get interest ahead of tax year. Balance £0. Both app and website say can’t close for some reason and need to go to branch or call. Anyone had this and been able to fix it without human intervention please? Not doing the renewal trick, as not long left before can open another due to anniversary and don’t want to annoy Lloyds.
    Not with Lloyds, but I had the same issue with BOS. I called up in the end and they closed it without issue. Thankfully the wait time wasn't too long.

    I just applied for the co-op 7% regular saver and I got this at the end... I assume that does not apply to me as this is not an ISA but it is misleading!  :open_mouth:

    What happens next?

    Please note: you have applied for the 2024/2025 tax year. This means you will not be able to pay into the ISA until at least 6 April 2024.

    Just a quick one to complement Monmouthshire. Account closure requested, letter + passbook sent first class in Tuesday's post collection. Closed out passbook and cheque with balance and interest received today, sent first class yesterday.
    Can't grumble at that turnaround. Their phone support has been excellent the couple of times I've used them too. Shame their systems are a bit 20th century but all-in-all I'm very happy with the service I've received from them.
    I can't grumble either, in my case I did everything online. Last week I requested that they make a withdrawal from my Coronation RS for the full balance of the account to be carried out on 4th April. Account was closed yesterday with the full balance plus interest landing in my nominated account by yesterday teatime.

    Well Monmouthshire has recently moved more into digital/modern banking.

    I applied for a regular saver a while back not realising how old fashioned they were, tried to get my money out, the best they could offer was a cheque but even then there were issues, left it for a while then last year I rang them up & they arranged the money to go back into my Virgin Money account.

    Has the new Gatehouse account launched? Can you hold both regular saver accounts?
    Yes it has been launched. Their terms seem to be a little unclear about this point but I've just been able to open issue 2 of their regular saver a despite already holding issue 1. I've yet to fund issue 2 though.
    Hi @Bridlington1

    Have you funded Issue 2 without any issues yet? Now we're in a new tax year, its probably worth me opening some 5%+ regular savers now, and this one is on my list to open, but I've got an Issue 1 already

    Their website does say
    "To apply for an account you must be at least 18 years old, a UK resident (or resident in the UK for tax purposes). Only individuals can open an account and only ONE Regular Saver account is allowed per person. Joint accounts are not permitted. When your account matures at the end of the 12 month term, you may open a new Regular Saver account, subject to availability at that time."
