Ecology was fine for me to set up abroad, no issues at all. Only Metrobank whose application website needs VPN, and occasionally the Skipton app to use.

Using Spring App abroad on holiday

Totally understand, and how frustrating it is for you.
I checked Spring website help topics and you should be able to use app abroad in most, but not sanctioned countries. So would appear no need for a VPN. Obviously set up is a totally different ball game by your experience.
Personally I keep VPN on all the time on my phone when on holiday, so didn't realise Spring app could be used without, until earlier today.

Hadn't been aware of the Spring Accelerator at 5% so thank you to whoever mentioned it first.

Cahoot Sunny Day Saver UPGRADE issue.

Hello.

MY SDS matured on 11th but was unable to get access until today after a time in hospital. I've transferred the interest 137.74 into another SDS l opened last mouth, but the button to upgrade doesn't click when engaged. Does anybody have an issue with this?

The mention account now only pays 1.00%

I don't really want to phone for help because l currently have four other SDS.

Annoyingly is already Cynergy EA Issue 101 at 4.15% ( @soulsaver ). That'll teach me to be away on holiday when 4.55% was briefly on offer, Issue 100 NLA.

On the Cahoot main accounts page, the upgrade button works ok for me, then choosing a Simple account to upgrade, the "Upgrade my existing account" also is ok (leads to my details.)

At least I still managed to get the Principality TA Issue 9 nudge up to 4.3% from the 4.25% 5A Issue 3. Some consolation #smallviolinplays

All sorted now seemed to corrected itself this morning. Thank you anyway for the information.

Cahoot Simple Saver

An email alerts me that I have a new e-Message, this says that my Simple Saver will mature in October and gives various options.

The account in question appears nowhere on my accounts list online and my spreadsheet says I closed it on 18 October 2025 (the same day this year that the letter says is the maturity date).

There won't be any 'lost funds' so not too bothered. Should I be?

Make sure you don’t miss out on Spring’s Accelerated Saver……5% but only up to £5k. Limited availability it says.
