    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.

Installed 29/9/2015 - £4700 (Norfolk Solar Together Scheme); 9.6kWh US2000C Pylontech batteries + Solis Inverter installed 12/4/2022 Year target (PVGIS-CMSAF) = 3880kWh - Installer estimate 3452 kWh:Average over 6 years = 4400 :j

    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.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    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

    @sheffieldeagle, I’ve just opened another one with them today. I clicked on the account I wanted to open and then it asks you to log in as an existing customer. Once logged in the application form is showing, it took me about two minutes to do.
