Do Monmouthshire allow a 13th payment? Looks like they don’t, but has anyone tried it?

If there are any exciting new accounts they'll be on the "no chat" thread anyway, so you won't miss anything too important

No, I accidently sent over a 13th payment on the 1st of this month for the issue 8 one, it was returned the next day. I am not doing it tomorrow for my other Monmouthshire accounts

They do but not if it will put the balance over the max allowed. I made 13 payments but had withdrawn more than one months max deposit earlier in the year.

Monmouthshire RS8 maturity

My Regular Saver 8 matures today - the app shows it (with interest) now as an EA account; online banking still shows the £6k balance and that it's a regular saver.

However the app still isn't letting me open a new issue. I suspect this is because of a dormant RS8 that was opened due to glitch/errors when opening the maturing account (the application resulted in two accounts, but I only received information about the first, and by the time I'd found the second account in the app it was too late to fund it). So have had to request they close that account, even though it doesn't appear on the online banking….fingers crossed I can manage to get a new copy of the RS8 opened and funded today, but I doubt it!

Fair point. I guess sometimes there are weird quirks and loopholes that generate a comment and replies too though (sometimes including stuff that is off thread that has proved useful)

MonBS issue 8

I used app. Account changed to EA at 9am. I was then able to open and fund it by internal transfer and send the rest to my nominated bank account. The funds appeared in both places on the same day before 4pm.

I’ve had the exact same problem yesterday when my issue 8 matured. The agent on the phone advised I could try and just fund the duplicate issues 8 account from last year by transferring in £500 from my easy saver. Did that at around 11am and by 1pm the money turned up so looks like that 2nd issue 8 account that’s been sitting there for a year is live.

I did this on the app, I don’t have online access.

Mob BS Regular Saver 8 Maturity

Well they've carried out my request to close the dormant one in record time, so I have now been able to open a new copy of RS8 and sent the opening deposit just now (didn't pass COP check but I wanted to make it today in the hope of it counting for July, not August).
