The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

CricketLady

Just a heads up on the Virgin Regular Saver 10% that I know a lot of us have - my daughter is busy for the rest of the week so emptied her regular saver of £3134 to her Virgin current account today rather than waiting for it to roll into the easy access account, then set up to pay from her current account to her main bank account (Lloyds).

Unfortunately, she can only take out £500 per day as she doesn't have the mobile app. Apparently if she rings customer service they can help her move all the money in one go but just a heads up because if we're all doing that, their customer service is going to be a tad busy.

This isn't a major problem for her, albeit somewhat annoying as she now has to move £500 on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday etc. until it's all out (she's on holiday and doesn't want to ring)  but I thought it worth mentioning on here.

Best wishes

I know it's an obvious question but why not just install the app?

No online banking available?

Yes she's decided to after all, even though she had problems with it before, but this was more a heads up for anyone who doesn't want to or can't,

I also emptied my Virgin Regular Saver account last weekend as I needed the money towards a new car before the account was due to mature.  I was able to send the full amount directly from the regular saver account to my Lloyds current account without having to route it through my Easy Access account.

And was this done online or via the app?

I've just tried to get my Virgin Regular saver cash directly from the regular saver account to my Lloyds and again, it said I had a limit of £500 per day, whereas my daughter sent hers to her Virgin current account to get this same message.  This was on online banking.  Meanwhile my daughter has installed the app, tried to get her money out and it's on hold because of "suspicious looking activity" - they'll be in touch apparently

I did the same earlier today, via the app. Monies arrived in a minute or two.

Hope there's not going to be issues withdrawing online on Friday when the Virgin RS matures to easy access.

It doesn't bode well, does it? I think I might get the app set up in advance. Maybe do a small test payment.
