I seem to remember that a withdrawal from the NW digital regular saver resulted in a loss of interest for that month. I presume I'm getting it mixed up with another account seeing as people seem to just cream off anything over 5k every month.

NatWest Digital Saver RS

No, it doesn't.

Natwest: definitely no loss of interest - can confirm from personal experience. All I can think of is Plum's cash ISA: "If you cancel your Cash ISA or withdraw mid-month, you'll lose any interest accrued for that particular month."

Closure does, so best to leave £1 in.

Anyone know when Melton BS online will be back up and running? I sent payments to two accounts on 1st October but haven't been able to check that they have been credited. Don't want to phone and bother the staff at a difficult time for them 

Back online, needs existing users to reactivate their access.

I've tried and failed.

Anyone able to get access? If it's just me I'll give them a call.

I've just tried, said my credentials are incorrect.

Loss of interest only applies in the month you close the a/c.

It's worked for me.

For "account number" they don't mean the account number you send money to, they mean the number in the reference.

i.e I had Melton on my spreadsheet as xx-xx-xx xxxxxxx ARGyyyyyyyXXX. And to register I typed 0yyyyyyy as my "account number". That was the only bit I found confusing.

I tried just now and managed to get access. The bad news is that, contrary to what I was advised prior to the website update, my October deposits are not showing.

What might be tripping you up, and did me until I corrected it, is that I entered my mobile number with the leading zero. I got a message, not at this point but at the end of the page saying incorrect data had been entered and that was really the only thing I could think to change, so I removed the leading zero and it allowed me to continue.

The website is was really slow to load for me and at first I could only see 2 of my accounts so thought they had lost them altogether but there is a button to click to see more of them.

First impression is not good but time will tell I suppose.

"Confusing" is not the term I'd use. Well done for deducing what was actually required, would have been nice if the same instructions had been forthcoming from Melton.

You need to re-register.
