Has anyone else checked the interest for their account?  Mine appears not to contain the bonus, despite having adhered to the terms for the bonus.

Also, what were others going to do with their regular saver? I was intending to withdraw it down to the minimum to keep it open, but now may continue paying into it this year.

I was going to wait till the interest has been paid and then withdraw down to the minimum, I've also got an Instant Access account I opened with £1 a while back so i was going to rescue the 6p interest that's accrued over the last few years whilst I was at it.

I don't seem to have the option to make a withdrawal from my account in their online banking though, this is despite having a nominated account set up and approved. I've even tried guessing the link to the transfer screen 
https://beverleyonline.beverleybs.co.uk/CoreFundsTransfer/Index/{account number}. All I get is this screen with no option to input any payment details.

Did anyone here open last year's Furness BS Christmas Reg Saver, I think it came out on/around 13 January, just wondering if you'd heard of a a replacement this year, or had any maturity options?

Annoyingly, 1st of January, February and March this year are all non working days. Have done some manual transfers for new accounts where I hadn't set the standing order up, and was about to set up standing orders starting from February untill I noticed 1st is a Sunday.

And it gets worse, the end of the 2025-6 tax year falls on Easter Sunday, this means that the final working day of the current tax year is Thursday 2nd April, which is rather an early one. It's just something to bear in mind for those planning to purge their regular savers to top up ISAs before the end of the tax year.

Oooh thanks for that, I'll need to make an early payment for my pension contribution as the DD normally goes on 4th/month. Not ideal but a leftover problem from when trying to set up a DD from Zopa who weren't originally recognised by Vanguard.

Yes, I received a secure message in their digital inbox. No mention of any replacement but I can set maturity instructions on their website/app

I and Mrs Bobble opened ours on 14th Jan. Our maturity options are totally underwhelming and we are acting non-committal until the last minute in case Furness pull a rabbit out of the hat. It won't be either of these below, when options elsewhere are more lucrative.

I've tried Edge, Chrome, disabling ad-blockers, clearing cookies, then tried logging on using two different phones and the issue persists. I think I may need to make Beverley BS my first complaint of the year.
