The Top Fixed Interest Savings Discussion Area

That would be my understanding too from the Key Features document - initial must be £5k, but you can add multiple amounts after that in the 14 day window.  I don't think each subsequent payment has to be £5k - I've not seen that specified, it's just the minimum balance for the account.

Minimum deposit of £5,000, maximum account balance of £1,000,000. Once the Account is opened, and provided the product has not been closed to new deposits, you have a limited period in which you can make deposits into the Account. This is up to 14 days, beginning on the day you apply for your Fixed Rate Bond, after which you will be unable to make any other deposits into your Account.

Their credits tend to be applied around 1pm on weekdays only. You’ll also get an email when it’s been paid in.

when you login and try to apply for the 2-Year fix, it says "This account has been extremely popular and we’re no longer accepting new applications." - however, it looks as though existing users could currently still apply for the 12 & 18-month fixes as no similar message appears with them and it seems the application would proceed.
