Can anyone with a Kent Reliance easy access account please tell me - if you've paid into the account recently did you  get a confirmation text the next morning? I remember quite some time ago the last time I used them they used to do this, but I paid into my account yesterday but didn't receive any text (although the money did show in the account yesterday evening which is quicker than I used to experience as it used to show the next morning). Maybe they have changed their process since the last time I used them.

Not sure about a text but I get an email around 2pm for early deposits and 9am the following morning for later deposits. Last time I deposited was 21st Jan.

Thanks Bobblehat and janusdesign.

Hi can someone remind me: when withdrawing from Coventry you get funds following business day but do those funds earn interest in Coventry on the day you submit the withdrawal or do you effectively lose a day’s interest when withdrawing? Thks

In the section 'Taking money out, One-off payment (to an account with another UK bank/building society)' on page 18 it says in relation to when the money leaves your account 

At the latest, on the next Business Banking Day following your request. The amount will be taken off your account balance and reach the receiving bank on that day

Because it leaves the account on the same day as it's received at the other provider (the next business day) you don't lose a days interest by my understanding.

That is correct. Coventry are the only institution I have encountered that do this. All others take the funds from your account the day you submit the withdrawal despite you not receiving them until the next working day.

Coventry withdrawal (days earning interest). I hope that applies on non working days ie. over the weekend. I intend to move a large 5 figure amount on Monday March 3 (setting if up on the Friday to take place on the Monday) from the new Coventry 4 access savings account @4.85% to pay for the numerous SO`s going out on that day to fund Regular savers. Am I correct in thinking that this money will arrive in time to avoid overdraft charges with the receiving bank. The banks cut off time is 2pm for money to cover the SO`s.

It will arrive on Monday but in my experience there's a good chance it will be later than 2pm.

Coventry withdrawals

My last two withdrawals from Coventry (one in 2023, the other in 2024), both below £5,000, arrived at 12.17pm and 12.18pm respectively.

Thanks to everyone for your input on a Coventry withdrawal over the weekend. I will have to check on the Monday at 1pm whether the money has gone in.

I have a back up plan if it hasn`t gone in. I can withdraw the required amount from 4 Edge Savers and replace that later in the day once the Coventry money goes in.
