  • YBS 13th payment for the new £50 8% one - may have missed this, but is it permitted please?
    £600 maximum deposits. So you can make a 13th payment if at least one of your months has less than £50 deposited within it
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Can someone remind me how it works if set the date of £250 standing order from a Santander current account to HSBC current account as the same day the £250 standing order goes into the HSBC regular saver? If Santander process their standing orders after HSBC and thus funds not there when HSBC try and take then do HSBC automatically try again later in day a bit like banks do with direct debits? Thks 
    Yes, HSBC would try the standing order again later in the day

    Having said that Santander send their standing orders before HSBC do 
    Thanks, will set up Santander standing order for same day then. Santander ones come out c130am, what time do HSBC ones come out?

    I called them and have been told that the only way to apply is by visiting branch and bring passport, driving licence and council tax bill ..
    I'll see what happens. Under 'How To Apply' on their website it clearly states 'alternatively, you can scan your completed, signed application and identity documents to savings@theloughborough.co.uk. An electronic payment can be made once the account is opened'.

    Won't be losing any sleep if the application is declined.
    I emailed them for a hard copy of the application form, they replied saying it was in the post. My address shows I live on the south coast.

    I might be missing something but I can't actually see that it actually states the maximum balance is £600 - that appears just to an illustration

    That’s what was confusing me too - it kind of says, blah blah blah so the max balance would be £600. Not as clear as they’ve been previously

    How much can I save?

    You can open this account from £1 and save up to £50 each calendar month. This would be a maximum of £600 in one year, before your interest was added.

    It also says you can apply by post which I've done sending id along with the application form.  BUT you don't have to send original ID they accept photocopies.
