Sorry I wrote the wrong word, I meant calculated.

Of course!

Have to say, they're the only building society I recall having their own car park.

Far worse places than Tipton, and I love the Black Country accent.

You'd like me then! I'm pretty broad.

I went to Coseley, car park is about 50m from the branch.

Although it is very local for me it did get me thinking about other future accounts where travel is required, I know one or two on here have the odd day out opening branch accounts.

If anything really attractive came up I may just hop on a train.

Yes I can see that, the timing of the bonus is quite awkward in terms of the year itself.

Don't get me wrong its towards the bottom of the list for priority with me and for now it wiol only be funded minimally.

I remember going to the Black Country Museum many years ago. The spoken accents of the museum staff were brilliant!

Had to send a bank statement for nominated account, but when my last account matured, I was able to request payment to a different account without providing the same. No longer using nominated account if I can help it (was Halifax Reward.) Certainly don’t want to have the £12.5K land in one account as I would expect it to ring alarm bells, being the biggest RS I have had to date.

Is it worth withdrawing some of the £12.5k a few days early, to another account? Other RS maturities are usually in the region of £3000 so £12.5k might trigger some kind of anti-fraud hold-up.

Haven't had a stop on my RBS current account for over 10 years (I've had it for decades) until that nonsense with BucksBS last week. Makes me think that emptying the big MonBS RS in a couple of tranches might be prudent, I have need of the funds sharpish and don't want another hour on the phone explaining what a building society is.

I've got a Santander Regular Saver, which matured today, and the interest has been credited. The rate was 5% when I opened it.

If I remember correctly, when I've previously had a Regular Saver with Santander, the balance then automatically moves to my current account, and a new Regular Saver account begins, with the new interest rate, which is currently 8%. I thought I'd read that in the terms and conditions.

However, I've noticed that the details on my matured regular Saver now say the interest rate is 8%, and I can't find anything in the terms and conditions that says the balance is transferred out after 12 payments plus interest.

Has anyones account matured recently, and if so, was it transferred to your current account automatically and a new one opened automatically?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
