Hopefully the Barclays/Gatehouse faster payment issues won't catch anyone out for their RS tomorrow (and Monday).

I'm always paranoid that the transfer from, whatever EA I have my float in, works for stacks and stacks of RS have set up for the 1st of each month.

I tend to transfer it (to the C/A) where the s.os are taken on the second to last working of the month.

It is not a good time for the Barclay/Gatehouse payment holdup. I did a 5 figure withdrawal from Gatehouse this morning to fund a multitide of RS`s at beginning of February. Still not arrived yet. Let`s hope it gets resolved quickly.

What Barclays/Gatehouse hold up is this you're referring to ?

Gatehouse use Barclays to process payments hence are also affected.

Thanks,

Oh !!!!!!!

Just checked and my funds I requested at 0100 this morning have still not arrived with Chase ready to pay 25 S/O between 0100-0300 tomorrow !!!
I even rang Gatehouse at 1400 to ask where my funds were as they always arrive with Chase between 1130-1200. I was assured there were no hold ups and was told they'd be there by 5pm !

There's been on and off issues with Barclays over the past 2 weeks, well there has for me since the App update Obviously the issue(s) has finally come to a head. It's now 10.13pm and still no pre or re-requested  funds from Gatehouse

Just as well I always have a backup

Perhaps that's what Barclays told Gatehouse, too...

I've made a withdrawal this morning too, but this delay won't affect my RS distributions tomorrow.  I didn't want to rely on timely delivery from Gatehouse so I have filled all of my 5% Cahoots in advance.  Today's withdrawal was meant to be transferred to 4.75% Cahoots in order to refill 5%-ers after the RS distribution.
The day is not over yet, there's still a chance that we'll receive our money today, you never know.

I withdrew £10K from Gatehouse at 2pm yesterday. It was due to arrive in Santander today......it hasn't arrived.
Gatehouse have a warning header on their website advising delays to withdrawals & deposits. Could be Monday before it's fixed.....I don't think Gatehouse work weekends.

Principality BS Christmas 2025 Regular Saver Bond at 7% now NLA.

EDITED TO ADD:
Leeds BS Regular Saver (Issue 60) at 4.95% is also NLA. Replaced by Issue 61 at a lower rate of 4.8%.

I'll consider myself lucky that I did a future-dated withdrawal yesterday, given the rate drop of the regular saver maturity account. Arrived before all of these problems thankfully. I would have had a backup option anyway, but not without some inconvenience.

Do Chase process standing orders on a Saturday? All my standing orders go out via Santander and they are all due to go out on Monday.
