    Today 24th April 2020.  The money is now in my bank account   £64.75 interest.
    My interest is added (£64.88, 29p less than the amount suggested in their maturity letter!) but I couldn't spot the withdrawal button. As it's weekend I've left it. After all I may get 29p extra on Monday!
    Exactly the same in interest paid and shortage.
    Withdrawal/closure is from the Transfer button where your nominated account details are pre-filled.

    I completed the Monmouth maturity instruction form a couple of weeks back - the maturity proceeds were in my bank account yesterday afternoon as expected.

    Re Saffron RS issue 3
    My RS was due for today, the 25th. Wasn’t expecting the payout until Monday but was pleasantly surprised to find they paid out today.

    If it were me any pleasure would be muted as there's nothing like it to replace it. I'm lucky, mine matures in January.

  • Am looking for safe savings home for a large sum from selling a property. Best fixed interest options seem to include Investec and Vanquis but all around 1.5% for 12 months. So how can "Fixed Rate Savers" be offering interest of 2.8% for 12 months fixed term? Who are they and what's the catch - can anyone help, please?

    This thread is about Regular Savers - these are all accounts which only take small deposits (max £500) a month, so not suited to your requirements. You should start a separate thread for your question, and please name the 2.8% "Fixed Rate Savers" you found. They are likely to be scams but let's discuss this in your new thread.

    This thread is regarding Regular Saver Accounts rather than the Fixed saver accounts you are talking about so beat starting a new separate thread for those that dont follow this thread but in short the catch is it's either a scam or your money will be at risk as will be investment rather than savings!!
