I have been trying to pay my YBS Loyalty Reg eSaver by Halifax debitcard today, got declined. I iwll try that again later. I just wonder about other people experience paying your YBS RSA using halifax debitcard. Is there any change. Thanks

The YBS debit card deposit system does occasionally fail for no apparent reason.  About a year ago it failed more often than it worked, but I think they fixed that issue.  I don't know if there has been a recent change, but it is something I normally expect to happen from time to time so I make sure the deposits are made early enough in the month to go with a plan 'B' if it does go wrong.

I had issues with this last year, and it went on for some time before getting sorted, currently I make lots of debit card payments from Halifax to YBS without issue.

I also use YBS to meet my Halifax spending requirements. Paying from my own Halifax cards to my YBS accounts works without fail, but a payment from my wife's Halifax card to my YBS account failed even though it had been authorised correctly by OTP.

@trickydicky14 Have you successfully made payments from a partner's card to your own YBS account?

No, I haven't made any payments from my partner's card. Like you, I just use my card to meet the t&c to get my £5 each month.

Darlington BS has increased the rate on its Green RS from 2.10% to 2.25%, effective yesterday I think.  I am overwhelmed. 

Yes, also the Darlington 'young saver' and 'teen' regular savers both upto 3.5% (from 3.05%)

However no increase to their new regular monthly saver (or previous Special Occasion Saver) yet.

Unless, as last month, they are updating their website in stages.

I've just took most of my cash out of my 3 SOS accounts, for me the rate would need to be 3% or more to bother with.

And the rate for the Darlington 'Young Saver' and 'Teen' Regular savers has just dropped to 3.3% according to their website!

It looks like they are currently in the prcoess of fiddling about with interest rates on the website!

Rates constantly changing, the only thing i am not happy with the 2.75% Santander esaver account is that it is variable.

Just spoken with them now and they have confirmed 3.5% was a mistype, and the rates on both are 3.3%. They have also confirmed the special occasion saver rate and JISA rate will not be going up today
