Issue with Halifax early closure is that it requires a branch visit IIRC.

I have done it several times online.

Unless you renew the account into an EA account, which can be done online without penalty. From there you can close the account in online banking.

Back in July I tried to renew mine to EA, both via app and online, but the option wasn't there. I've successfully done it for Lloyds in the past, but not Halifax.

Nationwide Flex Regular Saver 3 opened, funded and 12 payments set up by DD.

All went well until setting up your account page, it just hung there.

Then, error.

Get an email steting account open etc.

Nothing there.

After 45 mins account was visable, so got there in the end.

I think you mean Standing Order. The RS cannot take payments with Direct Debits

Just opened Issue 3 of Flex Regular Saver from Nationwide 😊

Do you have to put the full amount in one go?

As in £200 deposit or can I open it, stick a quid in and add to it next week?

The £200 doesn't have to be paid in one go.

Thankyou. I did look at the t&c before asking, it did look that way but I wasn't certain. Many thanks.

I don't know why you wouldn't put £200 in in 1 go if you've just opened it to be honest, the quicker you put money in the more interest you'll get.

If by next week you mean tomorrow just open it tomorrow or something if you don't think they will get rid of the account, otherwise open it now & fund it and wait till October 1st till your next payment.

I don't think you can do more than 1 payment a month, I opened mine with £200 today it's been credited with tomorrow's date.

Interestingly is you have 1 month from time of opening to fund the account before they will close it.
