Appreciate your feedbackt1redmonkey said:
The only difference (currently) is it shows as 'closed' now. Though the final transaction of the actual withdrawal isn't actually showing on it yet, and still shows the balance as £3900. I assume they will update tomorrow.simonsmithsays said:
Nice one.t1redmonkey said:
Mine technically didn't mature yesterday (was supposed to be the 30th), but I had given advance access to them a few weeks ago of early closure as the 26th (forgot it was a bank holiday at the time I requested the closure). I got the money + interest in my nominated bank account about 5:30pm today.chris_the_bee said:
Yesterday was a Bank Holiday so they will not have processed the maturity/withdrawal until today. Should appear in your MONBS online tomorrow (Wednesday)simonsmithsays said:Monmouthshire RS
Anyone else have a RS mature yesterday and yet they are still showing as unmatured today?
How does that reflect on your Mon BS online please?
Am conscious that deposits are normally glacial speed.

Seeing two both as RS the day after maturity isn't normal for the dozens of other RS I have - even with the BH considered.
Hopefully they received the postal maturity instructions as they once again didn't advise me.
It's a shame the maturity instructions online aren't a little more sophisticated to include all permutations.
I'll be interested to see that the final bounced £300 (and recredited) payment has accrued the correct level of interest too.
You may not receive interest on the lost 5 days. I complained and received compensation plus lost interest:Reimbursement based on 7% for 5 days of interest on £300.00 - £0.29
Reimbursement based on 8% for 5 days of interest on £300.00 - £0.33

Yes. They specify max bal £6k so no 13th payment possible in this one.s71hj said:

My £500 sent yesterday morning is not yet showing in MONBS RS account. Account just shows ‘Pending’, but no balance. I had expected it to be credited today.schiff said:
Signature letter dated 21/8 (day of application) received today and sent back today. Added the account successfully to the home page and sent £100 by FP today, intending to add £400 once it shows. Optimistic that it will be done and dusted in August for adding to it next month.badger09 said:MONBS RS
I applied for this 22/8 & received signature letter today. I’ve added account to ‘My Accounts’ & sent initial £500 by FP this morning. I’ll post signature form tomorrow & set up SO from 1 Sept as soon as £500 appears.
My Exclusive 1 matures on Friday but I wasn't prepared to risk waiting.0
