Skipton Regular Saver - deposit date
I have been told on chat that the interest will be calculated from 1st August, as the late date of 4th August is due to a processing delay at their end but I guess we won't know for sure until the interest is credited

Anyone else waiting for their deposits (faster payment from Chase at 01:23 on 1st Aug) from yesterday to show on their account(s)? I've experienced this before and it's irritating to say the least.
What do others do to avoid it? Can I fund my base rate tracker and do internal transfers from there? But won't that payment not get credited on time too? Fundamentally, is Skipton BS just unreliable?

Just managed to pay into a Principality 6 month despite Virgin telling me on phone they released the payment and getting a notification on app following a block days ago.
Got several adjustments on my current account transactions list too which are to do with the 1st of August payments I made & disappeared off the transactions list.
So basically nothing went anywhere & £200 went into my current account today.

My deposits made early hours on 1st Aug are now showing but dated 4th Aug.
Standing orders/scheduled payments have now been cancelled. I'll make manual payments during business hours, if I remember/have time etc.
Question for MSE's, does this happen with any other bank/building society who also offer RS's? It's the randomness of the process that irritates me more than the actual delay. Does anyone actually have an explanation for why some payments get credited on the day and others are only credited the following business day? I've not heard any explanation that holds up.
Very poor form from Skipton BS.Digital_Payback said:easysaver said:Unreliable Skipton BS

I thought this account had no withdrawals before maturity but I can see online that I have the option to withdraw or transfer to my other MBS accounts. Is this due to the interest rate recently dropping or was I mistaken in my assumption? Just assessing my options as mine still has six weeks to run and could do with freeing up some money to fund more competitive RS’s at the momentHave attempted to close mine online now, I sent MonBS the instruction over the weekend, now showing in the online portal as “processed” but still displaying with the full balance, and interest hasn’t been added yet.I’m fairly sure I’m operating outside of the T&Cs but will report back whether they are currently allowing closure as I’m sure other forumites will have similarly uncompetitive accounts still some weeks from maturitySave £12k in 2020 #42 £12,551.25 / £14,000 89.65%0
