    Any reason you are not setting up an SO for 01/11/22? As far as I can see you are only restricted to £200 per calendar month so 13 payments seems permitted
    I will make 13 deposits (plus the manual one I did today).
    The terms state a maximum of £200 per calendar month and a fixed term of 1 year. I make that 13 months from November 2021 to November 2022.

    I do not believe that 13 deposits plus the manual one today (ie 14 deposits) would be allowed.
    You are right, it's just 13 deposits in total. I got carried away.

    No min monthly deposit, not even for the initial deposit, just a monthly max of £200. See the account terms on the Nationwide website.

    Am I right in thinking I could open this today and make a payment, then have a standing order set up for the 1st of the month from December, the last payment being the 1st November 22.

    For less than an hour's work over the course of the year? That's quite a high hourly rate.  Probably about the same amount of time you've spent reading and replying to this thread.
    Multiplied by the number of accounts with different providers people have.
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Would it be worth it for £240 a year?

    What if this is my tenth savings account and I now have £240 a year, is it worth it then?

    When would you open a savings account?
  • Lot of fuss over circa £24 interest


    That`s the point of a  "Savings and Investments" forum. To get the best returns.  My family of 5 will benefit = £120 interest.
