    Forgive me if this is a stupid question or covered elsewhere (I did a forum search but nothing obvious). 

    Re the Natwest Digital Regular saver.  As you can withdraw at any time, and there is no account time limit, I assume that you can just keep the account at £1k constantly and take the 3.25% interest on that full amount all year?  Ie, when my next SO goes in and I hit £1k, I can just immediately take out all but £1k (maybe a bit less to allow for interest payments), and keep doing that each month, so the account is always £1k (including interest)?
    Yes, leave the balance at £1K and withdraw the interest when it's paid each month.

    There's no need to keep paying in once the account reaches £1k, is there? Just keep earning the 3% and remove any interest each month.
    No need to fund it. Just need to withdraw the interest each month
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Thanks all - as it said to set up an SO (and it is a regular saver) I assumed I'd need to keep the SO in place to comply with the terms, but if I don't then even better.
    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".

    I have max out my NatWest Digital Regular Saver at £1000 with this months transfer, am I right to assume that I need to pay in at least £1 a month to keep getting the interest. I get 3.25% for anything up to £1000 and 0.30% for anything between £1000-£5000. If so I will amend my Standing Order down to £1 for future months.

    No, you don't need to deposit anything.
    Thanks for confirming, I have just seen their FAQs on the website and that confirms that you don't need to keep paying in after reaching £1000, but still benefit for the 3.25% for balances up to £1000. I will cancel my Standing Order in that case.
