I've had an email today through from Saffron regarding the members loyalty saver due to mature on the 12th of June. There is supposed to be a  ‘maturity manager’ feature on the page but I cant see it so I've messaged them. I've asked to convert into a small saver but I am still hoping for something a lot better coming up in members month ....

It appears 13 or 14 elapsed days before maturity. Check again this week on Thursday or Friday.

Saffron
Maturity manager tend to appear 14 days prior to maturity day.  Mine matures on 1st June, I've instructed to close the account and send funds to my bank account.  Hoping for something reasonable to come out of "members month" too.

One of the Principality maturity options was a reg saver iss 3, I didn't see anything to say can't pick this option if you already have one, so I did......and no, like most other savers, I didn't read the t&cs cover to cover. Not had a message saying can't do it from them yet......couldn't care less if I get one......I'll just put the money somewhere else.

My first issue 2 matures on the 05/06/25, I opted for a second issue 3, I was accepted.

Maturity instruction

Your maturity request has been received and will be completed on 5 June 2025.

This is the message on my account.

I have not had a letter or email about it.

I will find out in 9 days. As I have two issue 2 accounts, I think it will go through ok.

I'm pretty sure your maturity instruction just sits in a queue until (just before) the time comes. At that point you'll either get lucky and have another 6 Month Saver Issue 3 opened, or you'll get a message saying 'can't be done' and they'll just send that £200 along with the rest of your matured funds.

I think it gets processed quite quickly because I think some of the people unlucky enough to get the secure message from [Removed by Forum Team] have maturity dates of 5th of June.

I wonder how many people do the processing.

It does, I've been getting emails within 24 hours / next working day of setting my maturity instruction.  The '[Removed by Forum Team]' message came the morning after I'd set the instruction for a 5th June maturity.

It will be interesting to see what happens when people do their maturity instructions late on the final day.

You could just make an assumption, if they've given you the option to have a 6 Month Regular Saver, that they'll let you have one if you've already got one (or two, or three)

I am in exactly the same position as you, so hopefully ours will go through.

I don't know how widespread this "[Removed by Forum Team]" action is, but it will certainly bring a number of complaints from disgruntled customers who will demand Principality to honour the pledge. "[Removed by Forum Team]" project might turn out to be very counterproductive. I'd imagine far too much pressure on staff who are answering phone calls, massages and e-mails and those who have to deal with complaints.

If Principality really wants to stick to the "1 per issue" rule they should simply stop including it as a maturity option.  There would be no confusion and no need for "[Removed by Forum Team]" services.
