    That's a shame. Well that saves me transferring my money back to them now as that was the only good thing going for them. They are not far off other rates now on the accessible. Annoying that I like many others area going have a to wait now for a load of pots to reach their date now. Don't think i will bother with them now. If only there was a way to roll back an app update .

    Most of my pots are 95 day ones and have just £1 in. That will be fun waiting for them all to mature

    The boosted pot's are still useful for myself. I already have a one year fixed bond. I'll continue to use the 95 and 31 day notice pots, for cash that is not required immediately.

    Can you explain please or provide a link to info as I don't understand what you mean? I've just added a small amount successfully to a pot maturing on 5th March.

    Good news that they have put the rates up. Wish they'd do the same with Fixed Savers.

    The latest app update does not allow you to deposit money into a pot upon which notice has been given.

    So, in essence, when pot A matures, you cannot transfer the funds to pot B which has notice on to mature a few days/weeks later. It would have to be a full 31 or 95 days again.

    The latest app update does not allow .....
    So far, it's only been reported for iOS. Android still appears to work. So there's an outside chance they made a mistake in the iOS app.......
