Just heard back from Mommouth after sending message this morning
they are stating that i have reached max balance for account and that funds would be back in my feeder account by end of play today
i have quoted their own t&c back as discussed in thread that it says nowhere that there is max balance of £ 3600 and asked them to please check again and get back to meWell, while we are on the subject of 13 payments, what about the YBS loyalty RS. Could I squeeze £500 in on the first of Sept and make it 6.5K for the year?

Snapdragon said:flaneurs_lobster said:surreysaver said:JamesRobinson48 said:Monmouthshire BS: RS 13th month
Yesterday I attempted to internally transfer £300 into my two in-flight Monmouthshire BS RS accounts (paying 8% and 7%), both of which mature later this month. Both transfers were declined, on the grounds that the account maximum balance would be exceeded. I had previously paid in the max £300 for 12 consecutive months, starting August 2023.
To the best of my knowledge, in each case the account T&Cs specify a monthly max of £300, but no max account balance is stipulated anywhere.
In other words, they're applying a "no 13th month" policy although none is stated in the account T&Cs.
Please, how did anyone in similar circumstances get on? I assume there would be many in the same boat.
EDIT: the MonBS has now sent me a secure message which states:
"The maximum account balance is £3600".
So best of luck to everyone trying for a 13th month!
My guess is no. When I tried to make a 13th payment to the Coronation Saver it took the best part of a week for the funds to be returned.4 -

I hope they can cope with the incoming phone calls and complaints.1 -
Just had two lots of £300 returned from Monmouthshire. Obviously no mention of maximum balances mentioned in the T&CsI consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0

Monmouthshire BS
Most of the accounts affected will be coming up for maturity at the end of this month. I am slightly concerned that a small society such as MBS will become overwhelmed if there is a flood of individual complaints on the issue which has affected those of us who made a 13th payment in good faith, and that this will impede their efficiency in dealing with the maturity procedures later this month.I have decided not to make an individual complaint on the basis that Mon BS will be aware of the situation and, hopefully, will take more care next time. While inconvenienced slightly, my monetary loss has been minimal and compensation was never the issue here.11 -

- Based on £300 being paid into the account each month for 12 months - However this is just an example of possible interest earnings which is stated due to legal requirements and is not a declaration of what will/can be earnt.
In any case, this illustration is in the Summary Box and is not mentioned in the Regular SaverT&Cs.It is the latter, together with the General T&Cs For Savings, on which our contract with MBS is based.
