    For anyone with the Beehive RS, don’t forget to move your money after maturity as they will be moving it into a measly 2.65% paying a/c.

    The fixed rate period on your Online Fixed Regular Saver ends on Wednesday 31 July 2024 when we’ll move your balance to our Beehive Easy Access Issue 4 currently at 2.65% gross p.a/AER* variable. 

    Your savings will be available to access from Thursday 1 August 2024 and you can find details on the account here.
    I think I'll be the minimum amount in the measly account to maintain membership just in case they follow the route many other BS are taking. 
    Good shout, thanks. I was just going to bin them off but thinking about it now I’ll leave the requisite £10 in there.
    Beehive and Tipton. I'll wait until the second RSs mature and then go for measly accounts, there's no rush whilst the memberships are still maintained.

    Tipton

    Nothing impressive there and no new RS either. it’s all so disappointing but expected. 


    Yes, underwhelming from Tipton - easy to set maturity option on App for closure of the 5.75%RS1 (July24). I still have the 6.2%RS2 (Oct24) (14month term!) running and will hope for a decent new RS on offer when it matures on 31/10/24.

    How do you access these please?

    Nothing obvious for me (in the app) and I received the options by post.

    Where I now have a “thank you” message it originally said about maturity options if that’s any help?

    That's strange - nothing here.

    Which app version are you please?

    I'm 3.1.41

    When you establish a nominated account do they ask for some sort of verification - like a recent bank statement?
    TIA
    I had to send the top part of my recent bank statement. I downloaded the statement on my iPhone, edited it, and, via the Progressive website, sent the top part with acc. no., name and address to them. No transaction details required. It was confirmed promptly by Progressive.

    I didn't have to do any of that - a Progressive agent phoned me (in response to my contacting them), asked for my details and then set up the linked account. This was in the early days when they didn't have many sort codes on their systems.

    That is strange. I am on 3.1.41 as well. From memory, on home page there was a "select maturity option" at the bottom of box detailing RS1. Just tap that and proceed.

    I also, like you, had a call from a Progressive customer service agent who tried to help. I gave her my account details but she then came back to say that the account could not be verified and I’d have to send the top of a statement. 
    But as I said before, the matter was then resolved swiftly. Good customer service.

    I'm on V 3.1.6, if that helps, and the maturity bit was in bold under the 'interest rate' for that account showing on the home page.
