    TSB, I sent £250 at 12.03am this morning and it was showing in the account 20 seconds later.
    Is it dated today or tomorrow?

    When I look into the details it states Today.

    Can anybody remind me which regular saver accounts can take funding on Sunday 1st and which ones only from Monday 2nd using manual transfers? I know some can take an incoming payment on Sunday but won't pay you interest, which is why they need funding on Monday.
    Sunday
    Aldermore, BoS, Coventry, Gatehouse, Halifax, Lloyds, Melton, Newcastle, Nottingham, Nationwide, Principality, TSB, YBS.
    Monday
    Co-op, Hanley, Loughborough, Mansfield, MHBS, MonBS, Progressive, Saffron, Skipton, VM, RBS, Natwest.
    Thanks for this. It’s incredibly helpful.

    Does anyone know about HSBC, FD, Chorley or SRBS?

    Just to note, deposits I’ve made into the following institutions’ regular savers today are showing dated as 2nd December:

    Halifax
    BOS
    Lloyds
    Nationwide

    What this means for interest, I don’t know.

    I’ve also made payments into Principality, but I’ve been unable to check when those have been dated yet.

    Flex Regular Saver Issue 2

    As above I made a faster payment today, but its dated 2nd December.- I thought transactions done on non-working days do get acted as soon as possible and start earning interest that same day, but I'm now questioning that.

    Also, can I make a 13th month payment on a Flex Regular Saver Issue 2 account?

    TIA


  • For people who had their Gatehouse reg saver (EPR 7%) mature, what was the actual profit rate you received? Is it 7% or a tad different?
    An annual rate of 7% with 1/365th of that rate credited per day though the account actually lasted 366 days

    Yesterday, Saturday, I sent  £7K to my ex Gatehouse regular saver account that's now paying 5%. Today, Sunday, I received an email confirming they had received the money. I'm impresse d.
    Thanks for this.

    I'm a day or so behind and in the last couple of hours have had the Profit Added and the reference has now changed.

    Interestingly the bank transfer checks (from Nationwide) identified that the REG type of account no longer existed (but the ERG did).

    So I'll now be depositing a wedge to Gatehouse.

    Working out very well this so far as at 5% it'll be by far my best EA account. Hopefully, of those that are profiting from this, some of those being extremely critical earlier in this thread about them might return and balance out their previous posts.
    Apologies for clogging this thread up with what's now a EA but....


    Four hours after depositing a wedge into this newly matured account (on a Sunday) I've got the SMS confirming it's arrived and it's showing in the App

    .
    Bravo Gatehouse 👏 

    Over and out for me on this one

    Likewise for me, for my 13th payment into my RS, which matures towards the end of this month. Let's see what happens next...

    Your Flex RS deposit will start earning interest today. Yes, you can make 13th payment.
