My help to save closed at the end of April, it’s showing a nil balance however, I haven’t had any funds transferred to my bank account.
I made sure the bank details were correct before it closed. Does anyone know how long it takes before your account is credited with the money pls?

But there's actually no need to keep any money in the account after making the final deposit (for anyone else approaching the maturity date). You can actually withdraw all the money on the day after the final deposit is paid in, then you're only waiting for the final bonus.0

My HTS account states my final bonus will be paid by 14th September (closes in August) so may take a week or so - may be slightly longer due to Bank Holiday.
@Petriix thanks for that, I had assumed that the balance would be paid out with the bonusMake £2023 in 2023 (#36) £3479.30/£2023

When you make your final payment is the balance transferred into your bank along with the bonus? Or do you need to log in and move the balance yourself?Petriix said:But there's actually no need to keep any money in the account after making the final deposit (for anyone else approaching the maturity date).

But you *can* log in and move the balance yourself so that you don't need to wait until they pay it back to you. Then you can earn interest on it elsewhere or spend it or whatever...marcia_ said:

The bonus is paid on what the maximum balance was, not on what's left at maturity.1 -
Next month, the 1st of June, I will deposit my ladt £50. After 4 years my account will be completed and will be matured at the end of June. So am I entitled to withdraw the money even on June 2nd and then wait for July to have my bonus paid in my bank account?Petriix said:
