RE: Re-starting a new Halifax RS.
There must be something particular about 'renewing' a Halifax RS that allows you to pay in again during the same month because I wasn't able to do this, despite the new RS definitely being a different account.
My process was slightly different though because my RS automatically matured into an Everyday Saver (as I had closed the ES they opened alongside it a year ago).
I then opened a new RS (different account number) and was unable to pay into it during the same month as the last payment into the previous one - the payment was rejected and returned.
Not a big deal, but I thought it was odd based on comments above about the new RS just needing a new account number in order to be able to do this.0 -
friolento said:E_zroda said:Co-op RSIs anyone here in the same position? For two months in the row funded with the max £250. But the £50 savings bonus from them for a CA switch was paid into the RS and stayed there. U think MSEs have mentioned the £50 transferrred out by Co-op, but mine seems to be sitting there , defying logic and hopefully attracting extra interest. Anyone else?
My £50 was also paid into the RS, making the total contribution £300. After a few days, they moved the entire £300 into my current account. I noticed this by pure cincidence, they never notified me. I then moved £250 back, and they stayed in there. I would recommend you keep an eye on it. You could also just move the £50 out to another interest bearing account - saves you from checking whether your COOP RS is still ok.0 -

- March 18: £300 moved by COOP from RS to current account
- March 20: I noticed it and moved £250 back into the RS. I couldn't be bothered with calling them about it. Account has been fine since.
As an aside, today I received two identical account statements for the RS in the post.It appears I had not requested paperless (my usual preference) so I have done this now.1 -
ircE said:Co-op RS @ 7%Appreciate I'm late to the party here. I'm an existing Co-op Bank customer. Applied online for the RS on Sunday. It's now been 4 working days and still don't see the account in the app, nor have I received any communication except the initial confirmation of application email. Is this typical of others' experience? How long should I wait before calling them?An update for those interested. I was unable to call them so I sent a message through the bank's website on the night of Tuesday 9th... no response, but I did see the account visible on the app and website Thursday 11th morning (8 working days since application made) and made my first deposit... and today, Friday 12th I've received a letter in the post saying "thanks for the application, we're completing final checks before opening your account"...Ah well - at least it's up and running now...I no longer check the forums as regularly as I used to. If you wish to catch my attention please remember to tag me (@ircE) so I get a notification.2

Thanks for a really useful thread and the work put in to keep it upto date.

Will open one but intrigued to know whether it will be fixed or variable. Moneyfacts doesn’t show this as far as I can see.0 -
