    Monmouthshire Regular Savers

    Yesterday, l sent funds to my easy access monbs account at 7.08am and looked on the app at 8.40pm to see if it had arrived to fund my two regular savers on the 1st.

    Its still not showing, so I am l right in thinking it won't be visible until Monday now?

    Monmouthshire can be one of the slowest to apply funds to accounts and for it to be visible online. Mid-week it can take two or three days for deposits to be shown, so don't expect to see anything before Monday, or possibly Tuesday. I'd always fund Monmouthshire RS accounts directly for this reason.

    So BOS live chat says you can't renew their monthly saver. I thought others on here had said you could.

    Nope, close and re-open for BOS.

    I requested closure using the bot at the weekend but the a/c only disappeared on Wednesday so that was when I could open a new one.

    UPDATE: funds are now in easy access account. So left yesterday at 7.00am showed in account at 5.40ishpm today.

    Ok, thanks for the info. Probably best in future then to fund the APP based RS direct. 👍

    BoS RS Renewal

    When I tried to do this, I wasn't allowed to open another BoS RS until 12 months after the initial one had been opened. So it's one on my 'can't refresh' list. (Not that I have an official one, but even so…)

    Been a while since I last posted so here's where I'm at with things:

    Closed my Nationwide Regular Saver instantly in app, £200 + £2.14 interest on 29th April)

    *Seems I'm eligible for the £100 payout, not sure if that contributed or not but certainly didn't expect to be eligible this year so nice surprise*

    CO OP Regular Saver still a slow etc process, mine "matured" Friday, didn't show up as converted until today, my balance is showing as £3000, sorry what?, where's my interest?, after contacting CO OP on X they said I won't see my interest until Monday.

    I've also applied for a new regular saver, again awkward to apply, they already hold details yet you have to fill out like you a new customer etc, should just be able to just confirm details in app.

    What's also stupid about the form is you have to give your sort code and account number at the start AND the end.

    My Principality matured today into a maturity account as I didn't give instructions as I thought it might have been my last regular + I've been too busy with other things, turns out I still have an issue 5 left with plenty of time to go.

    Requested the £31.22 interest out earlier.

    Closed a Santander Edge, opened a new one

    Otherwise just been adding to my Virgin & 7% Monmouthshire.

    Waiting for interest on a Club Lloyds too, won't be much as there's only £1 left in it, lol.

    Saffron members month due to end in a few days, think it's 5th or 6th for me, but yeah wondering why they moving it to September, always been a June thing hasn't it?

    Going forward I'll probably get a new Club Lloyds, may get another Nationwide, possibly get the next Saffron & probably continue funding Virgin & Monmouthshire & Principality until they end
