Thought deposits by bank transfer would be credited same day, just checked my deposit on 22nd morning 9.22am is dated 23rd.
I don't know why this was the case, taken from terms below

Opened my account 27/10 around 8pm and made first payment by card using application reference. Received email about welcome pack on 28th at 11am. Phoned today to confirm the account was open and funded, which it was. Also was given my User ID over the phone. Checked my online account (setting a new User ID) and found payment was recorded as 27/10. 

Very happy with this all. Just gonna wait on the letters in the post that I no longer need.

They don't use Faster Payments so even though the payment was sent before 3pm they may not have received it until after.

So maybe its better to do card payments into Hanley rather than bank transfers?

Anyone on forum here, who opened Coventry Sunny Day Saver (2) at 4.3% won any prize in the Prize Draw on 17Oct25?
Any one?

I opened the Hanley RS earlier this week as an existing customer, and funded by debit card from within Hanley's online banking - payment appeared instantly, dated that same day.

IME with a previous Hanley RS, bank transfers are always dated the following working day.

I can't get their website to load on pc or phone. Anyone else having problems?  Hopefully they aren't plugging loopholes!  

I have requested £200 to go to new 6 month issue 4 from my Xmas RS,  am I right in thinking the account number stays the same so I can go ahead and set up standing order? (Can't check online due to above problem).

I've asked for money to be re-invested (saved) in a new Principality RS a couple of times in the past when an RS has matured (the last time being June 2024) and, on both occasions, the new RS retained the account number of the one that had matured.

Yes, the account number stays the same.
