    Quick question about 13th payments, I've just realised that I've got several RS due to mature in January and standing orders which will go out on 2nd Jan. 

    Which of these will be/not be accepted please? I'll cancel any SO which will bounce.

    Lloyds should be ok, Principality 6 month probably won't as it's a max deposit limit, dunno about others 

    Edit didn't realise you talking about so, I only do manual transfers, not sure if you can just cancel so easily when there's hardly any banking days atm

    Club Lloyds MS and Lloyds MS: no max balance specified so 13th payment should be okay
    Principality Xmas RS 2025: max balance is £1500 (12 X £125) so 13th payment will be rejected if you've reached the max
    Progressive: don't know
    Principality 6 month RS 4: max balance is £1200 (6 x £200) so 7th payment will be rejected if you have reached the max
    Furness Xmas RS: no max specified

    Club Lloyds Monthly Saver,  - accepted
    Lloyds Monthly Saver, - accepted
    Principality Christmas Saver (2025) and other Principality RSs, - not according to T&C, but according to experiences shared in this forum it has a good chance to be accepted.  If not the funds will be returned (in my experience on the sane day).
    Progressive. - not according to T&C.
    Furness - should be accepted.

    I made a mistake by paying an extra £200 into my principality as a 7th payment and it was accepted with interest paid. I didn’t realise I’d done it until it was in the account.

    Fair enough if it's a mistake. I wouldn't want to test the good will of Principality by overpaying knowingly in breach of the terms.
