    You might be able to by using a work-around. I wouldn't have thought live chat would tell you what work-arounds might work.

    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    My Skipton reg saver matured today, Money should arrive Monday.

    Opened the new one, sent £250, Plus set up a SO for the 1st.

    Hope it works, due to weekend.

    Worth a try though.

    I presume you mean Standing Order rather than direct debit?

    You might find the £250 comes back, as Skipton's clocks don't reset for the month until working hours begin on the first. There's always reports of people's money being returned when sent in the early hours to Skipton

    Agree, Skipton will credit any weekend payments with Monday's date, so you'll end up with two payments in June.

    No harm in trying. I wouldn't try that with Coop though - they send you a warning letter if you attempt to over-fund, and put you on the naughty step.

    Forgot to say earlier in regards to CO OP, they sent me a text saying I can check on application, again another form to fill out, name email, date of birth, mobile number, seems it's approved, anyone know how long it takes to see in app?

    On a related note CO OP sent me an email asking me to verify my email if I want email updates

    So yeah more stupidness from co op

    Just given maturity instructions for my Saffron Members Month, not sure if maturity manager has changed or I've never used it before but bit confused by it tbh, not sure why every option you tap brings up a clear option as default rather than an actual account, but yeah you have to swipe to see an actual account to transfer funds over too & state the amount to allocate, surprised you can't just have an option to select all rather than manually type it, tbh.

    All being well I'll get £626.51 transferred into my Saffron easy access on 6th.

    Finally my interest from CO OP has landed in my account all £128.25 of it on £3000, now I wait to find out what's going on in regards to the new one I got accepted for
