My Principality 33 was due to mature today too and have the above FP message, but I now only have the £50 p/m HH saver and £125 Xmas saver left in my accounts list (~£1k total) as I’d already submitted maturity instructions. I’m sure it’s sat waiting to go out somewhere so not worried. 

I only needed a small slice of it today anyway to feed my Coventry Loyalty RS, but can’t remember if weekend payments to Coventry are deposited there and then or will be counted as being received on Monday - does anyone know if I should raid another account today to make the contribution or just wait til next working day?

When was the Xmas one launched?, seem to have missed that one.

I've got a YBS Xmas one 

I was going from memory and mistaken, it’s actually ‘Maturity Winter Regular Saver Bond’ which might still be available with a bit of URL tweaking 

EDIT: see p.1106 of this thread

 

Link on that page is still active. If they do accept the application at 6.25% that would be great.

My PBS RS matures on 21st and I am using a pound to open a new one. 5.5% could be a good rate next year

The application links are down due to routine maintenance (it's the same with their currently available accounts too). You should be able to apply once they've finished though.

My Nationwide Start To Save 2 has matured. (Not fully yet as it's not showing the Continue To Save name)

They appear to have added £53.11 interest to it today.

They added £15.94 interest last year.

£53.11 + £15.94 = £15.94 £69.05, not bad.

£1319.05  total balance on a £1250 deposit.

I'm now on Continue To Save @ 2.50%, out of interest (not meant to be a pun) does the account need a minimum balance to keep open?

Sorry if you are seeing lots of gaps in terms of my last post, think forum or something is playing up, kept wanting me to do italics and stuff, tried editing things had to give up.

Principality RS 33 matured June 15 - received £3093.92 today June 16. Don`t know if £93.92 includes missed day`s interest but life is too short to worry about about 45p lost interest. At least they pay out on a Sunday and money will go to my "EA" account - Zopa ISA today and start earning interest immediately.

You do not have to wait for RS33 to mature before you apply and fund new RS 34 @5.5% fixed - you can have both at the same time.

I can't see anything in the terms suggesting you can't reduce the balance to nil if you wish.

My Principality 33 matured today.  Balance transferred to my linked account even though its a Sunday.  Nationwide Start to Save likewise.

I just withdrew full balance including interest applied today. Cannot close until a weekday, but seems quite happy with zero balance..

I have an old continue to save account, and a couple of others at NW, with zero balance
