It's the 'Loyalty' flavour of RS that has a specific 1 only clause.

I had to call them when the interest rate went down and they made a mistake with interest calculation. The funds were in my account the following morning.

Do you tell them about electronic payment on the form or in an email?

I didn’t. The form only asks about how much your first deposit will be. I don’t think there is any need to specify this in the email.

just working out my deposits for August - am I correct in assuming that Darlington BS accept 13th payments? my 12-month RS (Issue 2) has today received its 12th payment and will have a balance (once cleared) of £3,018.32 - opened on 9th August 2025, so should mature 31 August 2026… i've checked Brid's archive links and cannot see anything about a max balance for this account.
I have 7 RS maturing before the end of August - 3 x Mon BS & 1 x Progressive BS (that have max balances and don't support 13th), 1 x Virgin (which doesn't state a max balance, so assume 13th taking it to £3,250 is ok) plus 1 x Principality BS (which states a max £1,200 but will accept a 13th to take it to £1,400).

Darlington issue 2
Summary box says "Maximum account balance is £3,000 (we will return any payments made over)".

I dare say enquiries will be raised if anyone reports being able to open multiples.

Ive had a reply from Cambridge bs, which says they have done a manual interest calculation and agree my interest is more than £117.
However they say the maturity manager is only a estimate and the amount paid can differ. Seems like a excuse for faulty software to me. Since other building society manage to calculate accurately (except Darlington). Doesn't excuse being told it was accurate when I first queried it.
Will now wait and see what interest I actally receive and how they handle my maturity instructions.
