Thank you. How do you close the Halifax RS? Google says you click the three dots and it's an option there, but I don't see it...

Do you have to close the Everyday Saver first? I see an option to close that account at least.

Halifax: “renewed” my old 5.5% RS yesterday; opened and funded 8% this morning

I "renewed" the account (strange term, it means to transform it instantly into another account type with the same Account No/Sort Code). Also adds to-date interest.

Only available as an option online, not on the app.

you “renew” it in online banking (not poss in app). Might have to log out / in to see the change

Halifax RS

Had a RS opened in November and effectively closed on 22nd May (changed to Everyday Saver). Opened new one this morning in the App……took seconds. Immediately recognised with COP from Barclays and funded.

Just renewd my old Halifax RS to an everyday saver and opened the new 8% RS all within 5 mins

Managed to renew Halifax and open a new 8% Halifax 5 mins ago.

Will it work with Lloyds?

Halifax

I was thinking I would open the Halifax one this morning as I already have the others. I am now a bit unsure though.

I am worried that opening a halifax could prevent me getting a new Club Lloyds when mine matures, as at some point Halifax accounts might be changed to Lloyds accounts and then I will already have a Lloyds opened in the last 12 months?

Does anyone have any ideas on this? Is my worry valid or would that scenario be unlikely?

Would I be better just to open the Halifax one now and hope it doesnt cause a problem with Club Lloyds, and if it does at least I have benefitted from the Halifax? Or is the higher limit of £400 worth holding off for just in case?

renewal does work at Lloyds but you can now only have 1 RS at Lloyds, no longer two

The £400 limit has been reduced to £250 for the new 8% Club Lloyds Monthly Saver.
