Newcastle BS / Manchester BS Festive RSs:

Who knows - maybe they will put up QR codes in branches?

Yes please, if anyone comes across a QR code, please take a photo or use a scanning app to convert to a URL.  This would be very helpful to many people here.

After all it is unfair to local people who work night shift all of the time, or people who are immuno compromised and are clinically extremely vulnerable to airborne viruses; and there's many more valid cases why visiting a local branch may not be practical or even life threatening.

I've still to pop up to Stafford to take money out of my Regular Saver there.  I'll see if I can pop into Manchester on my way back (although the T&Cs aren't clear if we can take money out online after maturity)...

Stafford can be £75K by FP

Thanks, that would be very helpful, plus anything further you can find out.

I've withdrawn money from Stafford BS previously by post with a passbook and their withdrawal form and it all went well. I have a Pullman account with them to keep membership longer term and I have a feeling that it might be possible to make withdrawals from this account without posting a passbook to them.

Re: Stafford Railway BS withdrawals

Last time I called in the branch to withdraw they reiterated their withdrawals by post required a letter or signed withdrawal form, and the passbook to be sent. They would send a cheque, or would send it by faster payments if they already held the completed bank account form.

I completed one while in the branch so they have those details registered, and they sent the funds by FP. They were in my account later the same day.

But by post, you still need to send the passbook.

Being held to ransom by a quid also here, annoying isn't it?

Went looking for the forms and found a nominated bank account form and faster payment withdrawal request slips that required the details of the nominated account to be written again. I assume it's still necessary to fill in the former before using the latter? Hopefully they'll accept them in the same envelope, to save postage.
