If you have a joint regular saver, you can't also open a sole one.I see nothing to prevent both joint current account holders each opening sole regular savers tho.1

Im with Chase banking and they recently sent an email to say that their saver account interest rate is going up to 5.1% easy access account and you get cashback for the first year with just a normal account too.1

It's a great choice for drip-feeding.

My Principality 33 Regular matured today, requested closure of the new maturity account and funds to be transferred to my Virgin account.
£3095.12 total.
Wouldn't let me transfer the whole amount out which seems stupid so had to close it, like Principality know you going to get a few pence in interest so why make things more difficult than they need to be?, guess the only other option would be depositing £1(or amount to get it up to the next £1) or something then trying to get the few pence out?
Anyway what I did find strange when I logged in was it said faster payments are scheduled for maintenance on Saturday so be done on Sunday.
Does that mean Principality side or for everyone?1 -
If you already requested closure & transfer of the balance to your Virgin account why are you trying to transfer the money yourself ? I don't understand.1

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?1

@PloughmansLunch, I paid into my Coventry Loyalty R/S today and it’s been credited to my account. Their website does say that payments will start earning interest as soon as it’s been added to your account, so I’m assuming that as my payment has been credited I’ll earn interest on it from today.2

My Principality RS also matured today. I had already requested a transfer to my current account on maturity. Does anyone know how to see the interest paid as the account is no longer visible online (I don't currently have the app as I haven't needed it.)? Alternatively I'll be patient and wait till tomorrow or Monday and check my bank then.
