    In relation to the Buckinghamshire BS Regular Saver, does anyone know what the minimum operating balance is please? I believe it is £10.00, but I wanted to double check - and they are closed due to the Christmas Holidays. Thank you

    There is no minimum balance but the quoted interest rate only applies from £10. 

    I have the 'locals' version having been transferred into it by BBS from Chiltern Gold Builder years ago. Love the account with £500 deposit per month, unlimited withdrawals, online capability.

    The interest on my Darlington Regular Savers appeared after the platform refresh just before 17:00 yesterday. Same with my ISA. 

    Weirdly my Ecology Regular Saver (and Easy Access) interest isn’t showing yet though

    Nor is mine. I can only assume interest is credited on working days, so will appear on Tuesday.

    It's the same with any internal standing orders. Standing orders to other accounts will go out on Tuesday though. This is one of the reasons why I pay into regular savers manually.

    Mine hasn't - though £200.00 to my RS has, dated tomorrow.

    I used to do it all manually but it became a chore doing 40 to 50 transfers a month.

    in 2018, I had 45 monthly standing orders.
