Recently opened Market Harborough BS Reg Saver at 6%, in last week of Sept

Received a call from a market research company asking how was the experience with MHBS

Are they just sharing our data with third parties without consent?
Was it somewhere in terms & conditions document in fine print, that we have given away our privacy rights?

Same here Saturday lunchtime. I said it wasn't convenient. Agent asked when it would be convenient. I replied it isn't. She was annoyed and miffed and left the conversation. I wonder if their fee is based on the number of replies. Have to say I have been very impressed with MHBS.

Would have done the same. I am more likely to do something if they email/post it to me. If they’re pushy, I just don’t bother.

Melton BS Regular Saver 6

'Nipped' to Melton Mowbray to get the wife's account sorted. Electronic ID had failed when we applied although they reran it today and it was fine. I'm presuming they miskeyed something with our posted forms.

Oh well, nice trip to a town I've never been to.

The very nice member of staff said they'd be able to open the account since we applied "before it was withdrawn". I said I wasn't aware it had been, and she said something along the lines of "oh yes, it hasn't yet".

In short - last call for this account.

Did you have a pork pie?

Low carb diet unfortunately. Purchased one for my father, might have a nibble.

They've miskeyed one letter in my e-mail address which was the reason for me not receiving the code for online access. It was all sorted at the end on the phone by very nice and helpful member of staff.

Zopa Regular Saver

Has anyone figured out a way to get a standing order to go into it from an external linked account? As it's pay in month reset is the day of the month opened (5th for me) rather than calendar month, it doesn't fit very well with my other manual activities I usually group on the 1st.

The manual transfer says it goes to Primary pot by default, but nothing more on alternative

I just set the RS account to pull from my current account on the day of my choosing using the regular savings link.

take a look at the Auto Save option that I think @Rheumatoid is describing - it looks as though you can pull money from the bank account, smart saver or external bank (if its one of those supported by Zopa) on a scheduled basis on the day of your choice to the account of your choice, e.g RS.
it might be worth having a chat with them to confirm this is possible - personally mine renews on the 1st, so i'll do it manually.

Yes, sorry. couldn't remember name. You can autosave via truelayer into the 7.5% RS on the day of your choice.

But not the month of your choice. When I attempted to setup a payment from my nominated account I could pick a day but not the month. I have manually put my first payment into the account but can't setup a payment for November it only lets me choose a date in October.

Hi

I've tried looking for this but I've given up. Can anyone tell me if there is an issue when trying to open an new account with Principality as an existing customer. I'm sure this has been mentioned on this thread.

Cheers
