The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

sheffieldeagle

Monmouthshire app now working again for me and only one text required. Anybody reinstalling use the new phone option. It sort of makes sense.

Cheers

Yesterday I put my 13th payment into the VirginRS whilst it was still saying 10% interest. This morning its showing as an everyday saver paying 1.74%
My last interest was paid on 30th Jun 25 of £63.82, then before that £43.48 on 31st March 25, then £24.86 on 31 Dec 24, then £5.14 on 30 sept 24. So a total interest of £137.30
My first £250 went in on 13 Aug 24 and then I made 12 further payments circa the 1st week of each month.

What happened to my July interest ?

Thank you.

You don't get it till the end of Sept. If you want it now you need to close the account.

Has anyone who have different profiles with virgin tried to open several Virgin RS Issue 3?

Yes, I had 2 RSs of 10.38% version and opened 2 new 6.5%.  Having both profiles allows you to have a double benefit from all VM offerings. I don't think you can have more than two, "08" platform products are different from "05" and "82".

Tried to close my 05 savings account in app. No go.

Need to try alternative method.

Since installing the app 8 days ago I've lost my online access.  The portal doesn't recognise my login details anymore.  I've tried to re-register with no success, the system lets me go through the whole process but collapses at the end.  Has anyone else experienced the same recently?

Thanks. I opened a new regular saver and transferred £250 in from the now everyday saver. Cant see the point of keeping open an account paying 1.74% ?
So will not everyone close the one paying 1.74%?

You can’t close it in the app. You can either phone😳 or use online banking. Select the now Everyday Saver/ account services/ close account. Once you’ve input account details, message says they aim to complete within 2 working days. Presumably some human input so could be longer NB you need to reduce balance to £0 before doing this.

Thanks. Will do this. Why do you have to reduce the balance to 0 first ?

No idea. 

But somewhere in the hundreds of posts on various threads about this recently matured RS a poster was told this by a VM employee.
