    My VM RS hasn't matured either, but I've emptied it today. The app kept crashing after submitting the transfer request, but I was able to do it all in one go on the website.

    I've had quite a bit of trouble with the Virgin app over the last few days. I don't use it much because I only really use Virgin for the RS and a fixed rate ISA, but I've been using the debit card a bit over the past week as they are paying 7% cashback at Morrisons. Quite annoying when it takes four or five attempts to get into the app to check my balance before I go shopping!

    I emptied my Virgin Money RS yesterday, and then requested closure. As requested, the outstanding interest got paid into my non-Virgin current account, and the RS has now vanished. All done and dusted within 24 hours. 
    how did you do the "closing" part? just tried the chat bot and it says you have to call them, fine for mine not so good for my OH.

    How did you close it?  Did you do it on the current account closing page?  Many thanks

    I messaged them earlier requesting closure. I didn't even notice a chat option.

    Can anyone tell me what happens when the Co-op regular saver matures? My first deposit was 1 August so I think it matures tomorrow. Is the money available straight away or is it one of those odd ones where it vanishes for a couple of days then comes back?
    Mine matured a couple of days ago, 29th. Yesterday it converted to the simple saver with interest added. 

    Withdrew it all and moved elsewhere. 

    I’ve reapplied for another, waiting for that to be processed. Have a feeling this won’t be quick. 
    Took a few days for them to open my new one
    Co-op RS

    Appeared this morning in the app. Shame it wasn’t yesterday, but quicker than I thought.

    Maybe not yet "Banking hours"?
