With the N&I DS has anyone had issues withdrawing soon after topping up via debt card?

7 calendar days in my experience. You can put your withdrawal request in after around 22:30 on day 6, and receive your money on day 7, usually early afternoon, except if day 7 falls on a non-working day.4 -

Regardless though the point stands in that debit card payments into NS&I's Direct Saver take a while to become available to withdraw so the funds can't be withdrawn too soon after depositing by debit card.1 -
Thanks both, is there any issue using different DC to top up?

For those who still have a Scottish Widows account:
I've received a letter to say my Instant Saver 2 account is getting closed on or around 10/9/25. I've just spoken to them and they've said they are going to be closing all of their savings accounts.
If you are using Scottish Widows as a source of DDs it may therefore be worth getting replacement DDs lined up for when the accounts are closed.Scottish Widows Bank no longer offers savings products. This section contains information for existing customers.This page may be helpful for anyone affected:
