Yes - and expect to receive interest up to the upgrade day. This might be an issue for those watching their tax liability in the current tax year.

So is it the case that at upgrade, interest is paid as accrued and the new interest date becomes the date you upgraded. e.g if I upgrade on Friday (6th March) I will get what interest has accrued so far and my next monthly payment will be 6th April i.e. new tax year.

next month interest would be paid day after anniversary (7th)… I will need to check my records later tonight to see when accrued interest is paid, but memory says it was a couple of days after upgrade.

I can't work out what the purpose of the new Issue is. Apart from the issue number, the "effective from" date, and the updated FSCS guarantee at the bottom (which I wouldn't think they need a new issue to cover), there is no difference at all between the Ts & Cs. Are they really asking people to hold one of each concurrently, rather than just negligently allowing it as they have till now?

I'll do that tomorrow then. My rate was due to expire next month anyway and I will be a non tax payer next year so it doubly makes sense to do this.

If I upgrade issue 5 does that then start a new 12 month term from the upgrade date ?
not sure if to upgrade as I have issue 5 running until September and I receive monthly interest anyway.

Upgrading existing Cahoot SDSs: I've got no interest paid, dates remained the same and no edocs yet.

I've logged out and back in with no changes. Is it updated overnight?

@fabsaver I've now done a withdrawal from Tembo HomeSaver. They've partly changed the erroneous ISA message. Tho they still oddly call the £25,000 maximum balance an "annual allowance."

Anyway, I requested the withdrawal last night 8:30pm. Got the "within 2 working days" message. I just checked my Nationwide current account, and the Tembo money is there already!

It still shows as "pending withdrawal in Tembo's app. In the statement it actually says "Processed within 1-2 working days"
