    Principality BS 6 Month Saver.

    I requested closure online on Friday evening. Account still hasn't been closed. Be careful if you're hoping to get a new one set up before the existing issue goes NLA!
    Usually very quick. Maybe they are onto our little game.

    Wife's has been done this morning, mine still showing. I've given them a call and they've closed it down over the phone - I can't apply for a new account yet though unfortunately.  Perhaps I need to wait until the payment out is made end of day? We'll see.

    Checked again and the account had now disappeared. Application for a fresh 6 Month Saver accepted and funded.

    All sorted, now to see if this next issue is worth having.

    I'd advise anyone seeking to 'refresh' to call up to close the account, as they'll do it for you there and then.

    MHBS rs

    Yes, must be a quirk of lasting more than 1 year and maturing 30 November 2025.

    Their terms also say you must pay in every month. Mine should be full by September, so not sure how that's going to work if the maximum balance gets enforced... Might have to juggle the last few payments down a little to leave enough room?

    Max account balance is £3,750.
    Thanks, so 15 x £250 payments plus the unexpected interest effectively goes over that slightly

    The Leek BS have just announced their latest interest rate changes and their Regular Saver (Issue 3) will go from 5.00% to 4.85% AER on 02/01/2025.

    The (NLA) Flexible Saver will also go from 3.80% to 3.55% (it's a shame this one slipped a while back, as it was competitive when first released and £1000/month was generous).

    Finally got the invite to open a current account (to get their RS offering of course). and they require photo ID. There are millions of people in the UK who lack photo ID (very often disabled, as I am). So frustrating.
    An invite from whom?

    Mine was due to mature in the next 2 or so weeks I think. 
    I applied online to close it this morning at 7am.
    Is closed, new one opened and funded.

    If it's available tomorrow morning then I personally would take the risk in asking them to close it first thing. Then open a new one once closed. That's If I hadn't already done it that is
