In case anyone missed the earlier discussion, that's 5.50% AER equivalent to 5.37% gross. Interest is paid monthly. Applies also to the RBS RS.

Just a heads up if your Skipton reg saver 3 is maturing this month.

I was unable to give maturity instruction online for the last week.

You need to login online via a pc for eg, then get a code from the app.

But after putting the code in it box, nothing happens.

So called today and they have done it manually for me.

First Direct Regular Saver 

Just logged on and although the money isn’t yet showing in my saver account, the “your account is maturing” message was no longer showing and I was able to open a new regular saver 

First Direct Regular Saver

So I had only applied for a new account. I had a second text today to advise due to “overwhelming demand” it is taking longer to open an account but it will be “worth the wait” …

Had the same happen to me for the same RS, on PC. I went around in circles a few times when entering a code, and was left not knowing if the system had accepted my instruction. I ended up phoning, it had not gone through and I got them to insert the instruction manually. The instruction was visible online a hour or so later.

Then, either you were lucky or ..... two of us (Bigwheels1111) were unlucky! I tried to give instruction online (PC) and used a 'maturity instruction' link button too. Near the end of the process, I had to wait for a text code (I have no app), which arrived quickly, but on entering the code it sent you straight back to the previous screen that required you to pick the account the maturity funds were to be sent to. Several attempts at choosing the account and entering the code (codes - as a new one was sent each time!) sent you back one step.

It would be great if others don't get this, but I posted to let any that do get it, know that there is a solution, although one that requires a phone call. YMMV.
