RBS (and I assume NatWest) Digital RS

Apologies if this is common knowledge but just noticed that the round-up function can now be adjusted between x1 and x5 (used to be 1 or 2x). 

Wonder how long that's been the case? I certainly wasn't aware, but now have increased my roundups. Should have £5k in each Digital Regular Saver a bit sooner now!

The 5x option was only available to me after installing the latest version of the app, so 2 days ago going by the App Store. I tried to up mine to 5x immediately after reading the post above with no option showing.

I did the AI chat thing and typed 'roundups' and it came up with a button to click

My TSB Monthly Saver matured today  but finding it difficult to make my 1st payment today.

Can't do an internal transfer becuase TSB does not recognise the Monthly Saver and can't pay from an external account due to CoP.  I know it takes 24hrs for CoP to work on new accounts.

Any suggestions?

If you have a TSB current account try paying from there - as if the monthly saver was an external account (sort code/acc number), rather than as an internal transfer.

Many thanks, that worked!

Now I will have £500 in the account by tomorrow.

edit: worked on my account but not on my wifes account yet. Maybe need to wait for TSB systems to update because opened my monthly at 9am and my wifes monthly at 1pm.

also worked on my wifes account now.

Hopefully the Barclays/Gatehouse faster payment issues won't catch anyone out for their RS tomorrow (and Monday).

I'm always paranoid that the transfer from, whatever EA I have my float in, works for stacks and stacks of RS have set up for the 1st of each month.

I tend to transfer it (to the C/A) where the s.os are taken on the second to last working of the month.

It is not a good time for the Barclay/Gatehouse payment holdup. I did a 5 figure withdrawal from Gatehouse this morning to fund a multitide of RS`s at beginning of February. Still not arrived yet. Let`s hope it gets resolved quickly.

Gatehouse use Barclays to process payments hence are also affected.

Thanks,

Oh !!!!!!!

Just checked and my funds I requested at 0100 this morning have still not arrived with Chase ready to pay 25 S/O between 0100-0300 tomorrow !!!
I even rang Gatehouse at 1400 to ask where my funds were as they always arrive with Chase between 1130-1200. I was assured there were no hold ups and was told they'd be there by 5pm !

There's been on and off issues with Barclays over the past 2 weeks, well there has for me since the App update Obviously the issue(s) has finally come to a head. It's now 10.13pm and still no pre or re-requested  funds from Gatehouse

Just as well I always have a backup
