Principality

Gave maturity instructions a couple of days’ ago, maturity instruction tab updated successfully, but have just received a text message reminding me to give instructions before matures tomorrow. Unable to login until this evening to check again, but I’ve never before had a text reminder when I’ve already given instructions.

same. Just logged in to check and everything seems fine. The message " Maturity instruction
Your maturity request has been received and will be completed on 13 September 2025." is still showing.

I also just got my maturity letter but I never funded the account, it's been sitting for the entire year at a NIL balance. Can I stop the rollover so I can freely open a new one at a later time? I do not want to break any T&C's so what's the correct way to have it just closed down? I had issues with Halifax before so I don't want to trigger any reviews or other sort of trouble and attention.

As alluded to in previous posts, I am only able to withdraw on-line, not using the app

Closing any Easy Access Savers you have will stop the rollover, as it means that Halifax then convert the RS to one on maturity instead.

Principality 6mth RS
Has anybody had one declined .. and then later issue (or immediate) subsequently actioned?

in the recent past, i've had one declined (by secure message) as a maturity option on an earlier issue, but I got around that by phoning them and they actioned it over the phone... my most recent maturity (tomorrow) was also declined by secure message - and declined again when I called them.

You can close and open Halifax RS at any time without triggering any attention or potential trouble. Unlike Lloyds and BoS, Halifax doesn't have 12 month rule.

Hopefully, I'll know tomorrow. I've been refused both times I've tried it prior to this attempt but this time there was no email to them triggered, no email from them saying no and I received an affirmative letter in the post this week.  Don't want to count my chickens yet though!

Re Principality maturity on 13th, do you think the funds will be sent out on a Saturday?
Instruction accepted for RS4 and rest to nominated account

Based on my experience - yes, funds are sent and arrive on maturity day  (including weekends).

That’s good to know. PrinBS have now sent me a reminder email to ask me to complete a CS survey about opening my first RS4. Think I'll wait until tomorrow when my RS3 matures into my second RS4 (or not).

Halifax Regular Saver…….

1) Had a letter through the post advising about it maturing on 10th November (2 months time!). Says to logon to let them know what to do at maturity. I’ve logged on via the App and via the Web and there are no options. Is this just because it’s so early.

Both Halifax and Lloyds ask for maturity instructions, but don't provide anywhere to give them. I just let them mature and empty resulting accounts (and close for Lloyds, Halifax rolls over)
