What they're saying is if you have both accounts you can't deposit more than £3k/month in total between the two, so if you max out this one you can only contribute up to £2750/month in to the other (although why you'd bother when the interest rate is so low with a notice period for withdrawals defeats me).

Not quite. The maximum combined monthly deposit is £250 with a maximum combined balance of £3000 (soon to be £3750)

In that case, what's the point of a monthly saver account with a monthly deposit limit equal to the overall balance limit?

I'm putting MHBS on my 'weird' list. That'll teach 'em.

One does not equal the other.
The maximum combined monthly deposit over the two accounts is £250
The maximum combined balance over the two accounts is £3000 (soon to be £3750)
So if you contribute £250 to one of the accounts, you cannot contribute that month to the other one as well, but you could contribute £125 to each of the two.

Probably the easiest account ever set up as a new customer. It said 10 days to fund so thought I might as well get the application in today in case short lived and fund once HRBS matures.

So assuming a FP today and 1 on 1/10 by SO, when to make the LAST SO pmt??

1/11/25 unless it is a £3,000 hard limit. Presumably if it is the 1/9/25 SO would be returned for exceeding the maximum balance.

Re MHBS regular saver
Can't get the application underway on my phone browser. The APPLY button is partially broken up in it's display and does nothing so I guess I'll have to try on my computer.

Same happened me. 

Turn your phone sideways to landscape mode. 

It then works. Apply button on right hand side.

Just put it on your suspected typo list...

Just a reminder the Leeds BS interest rate reductions come into effect tomorrow. Of note:

Home Deposit Saver- NO CHANGE for balances below £30k (remains at 5.15%), though the rate on balances of £30k+ reduces from 2.45% to 2.3%.

"Save between £10 – £3,000 a month"

That one has a different total balance allowable tho, so I guess the total balance isn't shared.

So after a call to Market Harb BS, they have agreed to make the max pay in 15 payments! So a max £3750
and will be amending the terms to reflect that shortly...

And another morsel of interest - they update deposits every 2 hours during office hours ... so you should be able to see weekday deposits online same day made before 15.00 hours.  

Seems even payments after 3pm can appear same day, since I didn't send funds until around 3:30pm but can already see it in the regular saver
