My First Direct RS finished recently and I opened a new one on Monday 10/11/2025. Now my standing order is on 11th of each month. (or first working day after)1

My previous FD RS matured on 8th May, the current one was opened on the same day so my SO date didn't change.Chaykin said:My First Direct RS finished recently and I opened a new one on Monday 10/11/2025. Now my standing order is on 11th of each month. (or first working day after)0 -

You ain't kidding! If I were to fill my open RSs down to 4.5% (i don't) it would need over £10k a month.You'd have to be pretty rich to have exhausted all the other better possibilities than this one. Maybe the good folk of Braintree are particularly well heeled.3 -
It's even more than that in my case, I've just done a quick check and just to fill those I have at 5%+ for December, I'd need £13,350, this doesn't include the NatWest/RBS DRSs which I've already filled.flaneurs_lobster said:

Like yourself I haven't the funds to fill all of these so am having to empty RSs to feed others. It's a nice problem to have though.2 -
