I've just noticed Leeds BS has paid me interest on my Access Saver, dated for 31st May. Not sure why they felt the need to pay early given the 31st is a normal working day, but not a problem.

Some institutions book the interest a few days in advance and in my 10+ years experience with Leeds it has always done this. If you withdraw all your money now there should be an adjustment either this month or next.

Just been into Barclays to ask if the Blue Rewards rolls over or I have to redo it like Halifax rewards and she said it just continues but there might be some changes coming towards the end of the year and I would receive a letter, she wouldn’t say what they were though, anyone any ideas?

Reinstating full-fat Disney+ would be nice.

Isn't that Club Lloyds?

I was being generally whimsical - but you are absolutely right.

It's funny how their radio advert highlights the Disney+ perk, but fails anywhere in the voiceover to indicate that it is the basic "standard with ads" £4.99 package, which does not allow downloads.

I shall not be renewing this "perk' in October, and shall end up paying for the package I require again.

See then if it is worth still being a Club Lloyds member.

Monmouthshire BS sent me my annual savings statement and have added a line about the mobile app which "will launch later this year", including the ability to open new accounts.

Anyone know if these statements need to be posted physically, or if I can ask Monmouthshire to send digital statements only in the future?

No idea about statements but glad to read Monmouthshire are carrying on with doing more things digitally following on from not issuing cheques and putting money straight into people's accounts.

An app should be good.

AFAIK they'll only send out the annual statements on paper. Having said that Monmouthshire will let you generate a PDF statement in online banking, complete with name and address already so it does seem a tad unnecessary to send a paper statement annually. I'll telephone them later to see if they can disable the annual statement.
