I'm not receiving the Principality codes either.

Same issue with Principality. I fear nobody will be working today to fix it. Although I filled in their annoying pop up questionnaire for the first time, not quite the right place to log an issue but …

Luckily I completed my funding OK by 09:00am, did request a withdrawal from an ISA which is scheduled for completion by end of day, hopefully no further system issues.

Hopefully no further system issues you say?

Was available last week even though the account was withdrawn. Luckily, my daughter didn't wait until the day before maturity and sent her instruction as soon as it was available online.

I suspect so. I noticed a while ago that transfers after a certain time on Saturday night are dated Monday, suggesting they never recognise anything on Sunday (but the money probably would still turn up externally the same day if you were sending to an account that did credit on a Sunday.)

Re Principality Xmas account:

I've accidentally paid £200 into the account that has a maximum £150 per month, does anyone know - will they simply return the whole lot or return just £50?

Although it's probably only me that's ever done this… 😀

(And having just tried to log in to view my accounts it does indeed say the website is down for maintenance.)

They'll return £50. Expect a letter in the post telling you the maximum for the account and what they've done. Happened to me when I sent £140 to the Maturity Winter a few years ago, intending to make the balance a round figure - forgetting that the max was £125.

Unfortunately, an all too frequent occurrance with them in my experience.

e.g. My most recent experience was 21-Jan-2026, I tried 4 times in succession.
Codes only last 5 mins, and you can only request a new one after the previous one has expired.
Overall, I received nothing in a period of about 30 mins.
I then had to turn my phone off for about 2 hours. When I turned it back on, I received the first 3 texts. About 30 mins later I turned my phone off as I went to bed. Next morning, I finally received the fourth text.

Having said that, I then requested another text, and received that in about 20 seconds.

I did all mine by about the same time, although the code to log on was a bit more tardy than usual
