Interest added before closure tomorrow

But when will they transfer the funds ?
My balance is already nil at Monmouthshire.
I hope it is not at 4.55 pm this afternoon.
I need time to move it around.

Mine is already there.

Mine has been apparently sent by FP today but has still not appeared in my current account.

Ditto - trust it to be before four non-banking days!

I have just spoken to the Monmouthshire and all of the faster payments have been processed for today. Payment should arrive by midnight tonight. As it is the end of the financial year they have a lot of additional manual processing to be completed today!

Just to spoken to Monmouthshire BS and got a similar message.
It will be in my account at midnight.
I wish I knew that before I moved funds around this morning.
At least, I know now for future closures.

I'm now firmly of the view that Easter needs to be fixed as the 3rd weekend in April so that it cannot possibly clash with the end of the financial year! At roughly 5.30 pm this afternoon I sent an important faster payment to Yorkshire Building Society from my main current account with with one of the big banks and it is yet to show in my YBS account. I'm now very worried that it won't be credited for today, 1st April, and instead will be credited for 6th April which will cost me in lost interest in c.11 months time!

Edit: The YBS account is a Loyalty Regular Saver currently paying 3.5% so hopefully you can see why I might be a little anxious right now.

All because you missed out on 4 days interest on £500 at a measly 3.5% we have to all fit in with your preferences!! Maybe you should have made the transfer before half 5, I did all mine this morning and they've went through fine!! It's called being organised I believe.

It's less than 4.8p a day, assuming you've deposited the full £500, in lost interest isn't it?

In any case the payment will be there later today if it's a FP.
