Furness BS credit standing orders made on the 1st to my account on the 2nd. Has anyone tried paying on the last day of the month to be credited on 1st of following month, which would, for the first month, technically be 2 payments in the same month?  Did it work?

I have this RS too and would like to know. I'm up for experimenting with this and I am going to do the £500.00 transfer first thing on Fri 31st of Oct 2025 and report back.

Anyone else unable to make deposits into Manchester BS's regular savers?

I was able to make my initial deposit last month but this month's has bounced.

They've since said a letter sent to my address was returned and that they shan't accept deposits into the account until they've verified a copy of my passport and proof of address, which I sent over a week ago and have heard nothing back since then.

I made this month's deposit on the 3rd and it hasn't bounced. I'll go online later and check it arrived okay 

EDIT Just checked; it arrived okay

Is this the 4% RS?

My SO for October was processed on Oct 1 by MBS, as I had hoped they would do. They hadn't asked me for ID, so I presume they could verify me electronically.

I made a deposit yesterday and it hasn't bounced, received text and email confirmation that they had received it. I haven't been asked for any proof of ID or address. When did you get asked for this? I only opened the account a few days ago.

Yorkshire BS Christmas 2025 eRS

This one is due to mature on 31st October. Balance only £1500 (10 x £150, account was only available from Jan 25). Interest rate has dropped to 4.80%.

I've closed mine today a couple of weeks early. (Currently getting 4.55% on EA). Reason for early closure (apart from the unexciting rate) is to free up some money for RS deposits due on 3rd November Also, there is so much going on in my accounts at the turn of the month that an RS maturing on 31st October is just extra hassle.

Interest credited today is £30.82.
