    I took the risk and closed my Principality 6 Month and - this was the risk - I have been able to open a new 6 Month. I was worrying between closing and reopening but now I’ve done it I am feeling smug!
    Did the same myself. Closed my Principality 6 Month Saver, due to mature next month, and opened a new one within about 90 mins. 
    Does anyone know how long it takes for the Principality BS, on account closure, to transfer out the funds to an external account?

    Still waiting for the funds from my closed Principality 6 month reg. Received email at 11.10am today to say it will be in my nominated account by the end of the day.

    Instructed a closure at 10pm last night, funds in my account at 10am and new account opened within minutes!

    Did you really need to be worrying about the approx £7 extra interest thst you would have missed out on if you couldn’t reopen it and had to put or leave your money in an EA account.

    I closed my account at about 1pm today 7th Nov, will I have to wait until tomorrow to re open a new account. It's now 4pm and it wont let me open a new account yet.
    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.

    Just opened  Lloyds monthly @ 5.25%.  Also, renewed and reopened the club lloyds monthly.

    Rate on both is fixed and allows unlimited withdrawals.

    Thank you. Didn't know about the Monthly Saver at 5.25%. Now open :)

    I closed mine about 15.20. Tried to open one immediately, but coming up with I've already opened my maximum available. Starting to get worried that perhaps I should have left it alone, it let me open a new one at 15.50, half an hour after I closed it.
    Suspect I'll have to wait until tomorrow for the money, though. 
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    I wonder how many of the accounts at 6% and above will reduce their rates for new openings
