    My Skipton member RS Iss3 matures today.
    Should i be able to open another member RS tomorrow and make deposit?
    My maturity was 28th, paid into my bank this morning (29th). I was able to open the new one (via the app this morning) and paid the first £250 immediately.

    I had my FD saver mature I think on the 20th, money was paid into the easy access saver + interest yesterday and new one was setup and funds taken yesterday as well, good turnaround
    Did you still have a savings account set up? My First Direct RS matured on Monday 12th and I wasn’t able to access the funds until the 19th, and my new one wasn’t funded until the 21st. It’s never taken this long before - but frankly even three days I don’t consider a good turnaround compared to most of the other major banks offering regular savers which are far quicker. 
    Sorry for the late reply - yes I just left the saver open

    The money was in my saver and I thought it would close and take a couple of days but the logs show the money in on 20th, 22nd the 17p interest was added and I moved the funds in on the 22nd, took out all but £300 and applied for a new saver and the funds were removed same day into the new saver

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I rang them today and was advised that there will be another Members Month Loyalty Saver available on Monday 2nd June.  Unable to give maturity instructions for this via their maturity manager as there aren't any details yet, but I believe it'll be similar to the existing one at 8% (not certain of this yet as they didn't have full info at the time of my call earlier today).  Instructions can be given via secure message.

    Looks like we will all have to wait until our existing Members Month Loyalty Saver matures before applying for the new one.

    Yea you have to wait same as last year
