This forum is here to help people not be dictated to by others regarding what can and can't be discussed!! It used to actually be a place where people shared ttheir personal experiences with institutions to allow others to maximise their savings however its now turning into  a forum of one-upmanship to regurgitate the latest Moneyfacts website uupdates along with those who feel they have a right to tell others what can be discussed!! If people don't like what's being discussed scroll past it, that really isn't difficult to do!!

With the Halifax RS, it says about needing to reach the account by the 25th of the month.  It's the 25th today.  So could a payment be sent to it today for October or is it too late?

This is just to advise people that SOs from other banks might not arrive before the end of the month if they are scheduled for after the 25th.

If you make a faster payment deposit today, or actually on any day before November 1, it will count towards the October payment.

You have easy access to your savings. Use one of our branches with a counter if you want to close before the end of 12 months

You have to go into a branch to close it?

No, just use the' renew account' option in online banking which changes it to an easy access account.

What does that do for the interest?

I just did this earlier. Renewed my existing reg saver into an Easy access saver. Halifax added the Interest. I then transferred the balance to one of my bank accounts and cancelled the standing order. Then I applied for a new reg saver at 4.5%.....opened in seconds & I set up a new standing order. All very easy, no problems.

You get the full interest due up to date of closure.
