"Not sure why you would want to open the members R.S @ 3.5%"
i think you must of misread my post it's the 6% regular saver which i opened up online
and didnt have to go into a branch to open
it's funded with the 6% applied in the account detail page1 -
If you mean close a matured account and open a new one, Yes. My issue 2 matured yesterday. My Maturity instructions were to transfer the funds to my other Skipton account. I’ve just used the app to check that’s happened, open Issue 3 and make the first payment by transfer from that other account.gravel_2 said:Still possible to close then immediately reopen Skipton Member Regular Saver?0 -

In your post you talked about opening two R.S's so I thought you wanted one of each as you can't have two the same. So then I thought why would you put money in a 3.5% that was my thinking.kippo1 said:"Not sure why you would want to open the members R.S @ 3.5%"

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.1 -

It only states on the summary that: "Customers may only have two Fixed Term Regular Saver accounts open at a time, either solely or jointly, with a combined maximum deposit of £250 per month not exceeding the maximum balance of £3,750"0 -
No, sorry. In the past the account can be closed mid-term and immediately reopened at same rate with a new maturity date.J63320 said:

I've just closed the RS2 and opened a RS3 within minutes. Good to get the maturity date move further along the year.

I am unable to close my existing account as "Withdraw all funds and close account" is greyed out. Is there a trick I am missing?
