Re Halifax regular saver - my account has matured and funds were transferred to an easy access account, but the main main remains open and still showing 5.5% preventing me from opening a new one - does this account roll over to carry on saving or do I have to request closure?

I think it takes a couple of days before the old Halifax RS is fully closed, but I'd get onto chat and get them to manually close it so that you can open a new fixed 5.5%

I've personally never had a Halifax RS rollover, but I believe some have experienced this. Again, I would check on chat to confirm that this is the case

Just a heads up regarding Zopa regular saver.

Opened on the 6th of Feb, first auto save set for 6th March.

My auto save was not taken today.

After calling Zopa they have no idea why its not been taken, but April is ready to be taken.

So i will make a manual payment today.

Just check yours if you have one.

I've noticed that the Zopa App has been very glitchy over the past couple of days. I've checked for any App updates, and there are non, so I assume that it's a server issue which seems to occur between midnight and 2am each morning. However, my usual Auto Collect 3rd of the month regular payment went into my RS with no issues, so the Zopa App glitch has only just started.

It's just got even worse, Zopa just took the £300 and put it into the wrong pot, Taking my bank account into its overdraft.

I know its a new bank but not a good start.

Zopa does do things a bit differently but I have no complaints about their Regular Saver. It’s been working like clockwork for the last 4 months for me.

Check your auto set-up to make sure it's set-up correctly. If everything is set-up correctly, then just leave it and don't assuming that a payment won't be taken or arrive until a few days have passed. I had a returned payment from an already established linked bank account with Zopa which went into my Zopa currect account this morning and not back into the pot I sent it from - It seems the tech gremlins are about.

When you open the Halifax Regular Saver, a low interest easy access account is automatically opened up too. Then, when the RS matures, it goes into this EA account. However, if you delete the easy access account, the RS changes to an easy access account on maturity and you can open up a new RS. I can't remember what the easy access account is called as I've deleted mine.

Mine has rolled over twice now.  I leave the standing order going "Until Further Notice".  The money in the account is transferred out to the Everyday Saver automatically and the standing order just carries on doing its job with the Regular Saver.

What happens when you want to withdraw  the money at maturity?

I opened the regular saver without a current account  which you can.
I've got a lloyds current account so l assume  it can be transferred  to that?

Yes you can transfer to Lloyds or wherever else you want to.
