My RS matures on 25th, no issues if i request to close early? Was going to request closure on 23rd and should receive on 25th.
yes, I can't remember what time though I closed it to get it the same day though, just its the same day during week day
and I opened and funded the next regular saver the same day0 -

I expect this applies to account closures too.1 -
Re Principality rejected maturity options
Just wondering what happens after you get the rejection message - do you get the option to choose a different maturity account instead? Or do they just transfer everything to your nominated external account?1 -

I closed mine early a few weeks ago, but it has caused no end of trouble. The funds were sent with interest all well and promptly, BUT I have not been able to open a new savings account since, despite going through all the relevant ID steps successfully. My emails have been falling on deaf ears.
Also, for some infinite wisdom known only to Newcastle BS, my entire online account was shut down when I closed the RS, so I am unable to log in at all using my old USER ID, etc (I didn't have any other accounts with them, but other banks, BSs, have always kept my online access so I can, for instance, check previous transactions, etc).
I don't know if this will be the same for you, but if it helps in any way...2 -

Generally I keep at least one account open for banks/bs and if I don't I let the regular saver become it1 -

In my case I still have their EA tracker account from a while back with £1 in it so I've never lost access to online banking whilst refreshing my account.2 -

I'm not actually planning to open another Newcastle RS for the time being, i will need to withdraw from some of my 5.5% RS's for November RS funding.
But i might open a Easy access and stick £1 in it to keep my online access.0
