    So, with it being a public holiday on the 1st, is there any point in me doing any transfers  into my RS accounts tomorrow?
    I mostly do manually transfer.

    This is my RS distribution for the next two days.
    1st Jan - BoS, Darlington, Dudley, Halifax, Lloyds, Manchester, Melton, Nationwide, Newcastle, Principality, Scottish, TSB, YBS.
    2nd Jan - Chorley, Co-op, Furness, Hanley, Loughborough, Mansfield, Market Harborough, Monmouthshire, Progressive, Saffron, Skipton, Virgin.
    Hanley I did today as a debit card deposit.  Showing today's date in the transaction
    Debit card deposits always show straight away, but this money won't earn interest until the transaction is complete (normally about 2 working days).

    Noticed that interest was added to my Darlington RS yesterday. Wasn’t expecting that!

    I had a look earlier this morning as I knew there was going to be an interim payment on 31st Dec. Still being a little sleepy before the caffeine kicked in, it took me a few seconds to understand what I was seeing. I was expecting around £20 with the rest being paid next Aug (12 months) .... instead, I saw £93.37 interest credited? This amount looks closer to what I was expecting in August! Is it me, or has someone messed up?

    Penrith BS Regular E Saver 200 (Issue 1)

    Just had £85.13 mid-term credited as interest on 31 December. But that's for a full year (it's a 2 year account). The £93.49 from Darlington must be a mistake.

    Nothing showing from Beverley BS for interest due 31 Dec.

    I was about to post something similar. £83 interest in my account, was expecting nearer £15.

    I was wondering whether my trusty spreadsheet calculations had messed up, but no.

    Lets hope Darlington staff aren't reading this forum...

    Glad it wasn't me messing up when I did my prediction calcs back last August! I guess they will realise sooner or later and do some sort of correction & apology  :)
