Principality BS 6 month regular saver 

Mistakingly deposited £250 into my account. Does anybody know what they will do?
Can't see anything relating to overpayments.

Cheers

In my experience, payments to Principality are normally credited on the same working day or the next day if sent in the evening but that may not happen at the weekends so my guess is that if you've sent that today, the payment will be rejected and returned to you on Monday, although there's a chance you may not receive it until Tuesday depending on when it gets processed on Monday.

Same happened me. 

Turn your phone sideways to landscape mode. 

It then works. Apply button on right hand side. 

Still didn't work for me but did it OK on my laptop. The maddest set of security questions I've ever seen.  I have no hero, no favourite car and favourite film is too many characters and has a space, as 2 words. Just had to make random stuff up and write it down!

Only one I haven't seen before is the hero.
Do you not drive then?
Could have ignored the space

I got creative with the answers for each of their dumb questions.

Screenshotted them too so I can answer should I forget.

You should be able to choose from a list or set your own question and answer.

Also dumb is no caps or special characters, goes against everything I'm used to with setting up online accounts tbh.

Dumb indeed. I don't have any heroes.  I have a car that suits my needs, just one car, I don't understand the concept of "favourite car".  I don't have any favourite films either.
I've just made something up, wrote it down and will keep it together with other obscure things.

I don't understand why they don't use normal questions like mother's maiden name, name of school, birth place and similar things that are factual and applicable to almost everyone.  The idea of making people to invent the answers and write them down is bizarre.

Why don't people say a close relative of theirs is their hero?
Mine is so found that simple.

I guess normal means easier to guess so can understand their logic if so but yea.

So possible answers for their questions, cadbury, nascar & romantic 😁

(didn't use those btw but that's being creative for answers)

Because these are relatively easy to discover through social engineering some financial institutions go with different questions. The stupid thing in this instance is that the fields were limited to just eight characters.

Possibly because they'll using them for telephone security too.

Most people have more than one relative and don't necessarily treat one above others   Can pick one for the sake of exercise but I won't remember who I picked, so I have to write it down or take a screenshot.
