You can withdraw 24x7 but they don't send you the money 24x7

YBS annual interest (due 31st March) is showing on available balances from today. Believe they always do it this way and you can’t actually draw it out until the 31st. Like me though, I know many here like to look 

I managed to withdraw my interest today without any issues.

They certainly don't rush to send out the authentication code

Edit: Account authenticated after four days waiting for a letter. What I'm not keen on is the login process that isn't password vault friendly, so I might ditch the account and look elsewhere.

When I received the account details I did a £1 transfer, then waited for the nominated account verification letter.  After putting in the code from the letter and receiving confirmation via email shortly after I transferred in £1000 and back out the same day.  To get money out on the same day you need to make the request before 1pm.

Yes the login screen is a PITA.  With Linux I can't copy paste, but can do a select, CTRL, drag, drop to do what is needed.  Very few websites do this and as far as I can see it is just an annoyance and would actually make people use short simple passwords that they can type in.

Your experience matches mine. What I would advise people to do when choosing three memorable words is to keep them relatively short. One of mine has seventeen characters, so I have to think which letter is number 12 in the sequence, for example.

Saffron BS E-Saver Account (Issue 21) 4.5% £10 min

Re: Saffron BS

IIRC the level off all their different Esaver account issues to the same rate, avoiding the need to change issues (and extra work for the BS). I went through all the links on their website I could find to look for the closed issue rates but couldn't find anything. Has anyone seen a NLA rates link on their site please?

Just went online instead and checked my account and found it still at 4.25.

Would someone kindly report on how quickly withdrawals are effected on this new Saffron account , especially on non-working days TIA
