    Opened Beehive on Thursday and put the £250 in. Like the fact that the dashboard has reset in the App today (new month) saying I can fund again now. Another £250 going in on Monday……not sure I want to risk a weekend.

    Not sure what you mean by automatically renew. It's a variable account and the interest rate is going up to 6% next week. Most of these loyalty regular saver accounts are nearing maturity so the increase won't make much difference. On maturity after 12 months the money goes into an access account (the Six Access eSaver) with a lower rate of interest.

    The children Halifax RS my daughter has automatically renews so wasn't sure if this has the same set up. Mine doesn't mature until October so just wanted some insight to try to decide which other RS to open etc

    I noticed this too this morning and paid in July. It took about an hour and both payments so far are now showing in my Beehive balance

    YBS won't automatically open a new regular saver for you at maturity (in your case in October). If you wanted to open a new regular saver with them you'd need to do this manually.

    If you sent by faster payment to Skipton RS today, help pages say interest will get paid from next working day due to Skipton not receiving funds until then even though  shows in Skipton account on non working day which was why I moved £250 to other Skipton account yesterday.

    My transfer between Skipton accounts has not taken place 3 hours later.

    I'm in the same position with this - I tried to do it, and it said it would be processed Monday - so I've made a note to process it myself on Monday.
