To receive a monthly reward or a certain amount of interest, some accounts requite a minimum deposit each month.
Can I make that deposit and then immediately withdraw it, and still meet the criteria? Or does it need to stay in the account for at least one working day?

    These are current accounts so you can deposit and withdraw pretty much immediately.

    You can even withdraw and re-deposit if that is more convenient.

    For the accounts that I think you are talking about then there is no problem in putting the money in and taking it out again straight away (my record is about 5 seconds from money arriving to it going out again).
    If you want to be 100% sure then let us know which accounts you were thinking of.
