I've applied for a Joint Savings account online with Skipton & that's says "A rate has not yet been applied" if I can't get the 5.2% I'm thinking MoneyBox as that pays 5% with it's1% bonus rate , we have put our ISA's in there so am thinking why not put our savings as well, currently in a Joint Santander easy saver which is due to reduce next week. 

It will show 5.2% when they receive your deposit.

Saffron Small Saver maturity 

Has anyone else not received any maturity instructions yet?

I have mine due to mature, on my spreadsheet, on the 1st June.

I don't want to bother them just yet.

TIA

I've received mine by e-mail 18 days prior to maturity.

I think Saffron gives at least 2 weeks notice for accounts

I contacted Saffron about something else recently and in their reply, they included: 

Just to let you know, our mobile app has been updated recently, allowing you to set up your own maturities and savings goals! Just search "Saffron Building Society" on the Google Play or App Store.

Sadly, I can't find this functionality in my version of the Android app!

Likewise - I checked earlier this afternoon.

Top left (three lines) 'Help centre' gives you the option of 'Whats New' which states a new feature is 'Managing your maturing account' but no details of how to do this.

Saffron Maturity instructions online/app are enabled 14 days prior to maturity date.

It's not there in the iOS app, either, even though it's supposed to have been there for 2 months by now.

They do take maturity instructions in free form through the in-app messaging though, and confirm receipt of the instructions with a message. Whether they then execute them remains to be seen

It's definitely on the Android app but as said previously it only shows up 2 weeks before it's due to end

You'd think they would contact and invite you to provide the maturity instruction only after the option to do so becomes available online/in the app (14 days before maturity), but alas for some reason you get the email notification 18 days before maturity.

I have made this point twice to them but they still send the maturity email before you can give online maturity instructions.
