You could withdraw all funds to your nominated account today, request before 02:00pm and the cash should be with you same day. Deal with the interest as and when it arrives, requesting closure is usual to enable the opening of another RS.

Mine matured Friday 31st July. The account was transferred to an Easy Saver 1 account and included the interest. I opened a new RS 8 and transferred £500 from the Easy Saver into it. Transferred the remaining balance to my nominated account.
Had to do it via the app, as the above wasn't showing online.

I think we are in the same boat with Teachers BS - I have now had 2 emails from them…
4th Aug - "You currently hold a savings account with us, and we recently received a deposit into your account on 1st July 2026, which has been successfully credited."
5th Aug - "Further to our recent email, we have received further funds from you on 3rd August 2026. As your Teachers Building Society account number was not included as the payment reference, we have been unable to allocate the funds, these have therefore been returned to you."
bit harsh to return it considering I hadn't even received the first email by the time I had made the August deposit, but c'est la vie… if you didn't get the first email about July deposit, it might be worth checking your spam/quarantine email folder.
still awaiting the return of the £250, but will send it back as soon as it arrives using the account number.

SANTANDER RS
Anyone closed and re-opened?
I opened the RS in tandem with current acct switch in July but didn't have access to either until it was resolved today.
Since bonus is for 12 months from account opening and I've lost out on July now, wondering if I could just close the unfunded one and re-open a new one?

Thank you! Did that happen early enough on the Friday that you could withdraw all your money before the weekend?

Mine matured yesterday (5th August) and became an easy access with the accrued interest added. On the website however it was still showing a regular saver without the interest. On the app I opened a new regular saver 8 and moved all bar £500 to my nominated account, the details of which I had to supply again for some unknown reason. I seem to recollect that there was a message that it might take a couple of days for the new account to be visible. It is currently not yet showing up either online or via the app although online the easy saver now has yesterdays transactions added. I assume that there must be some manual process needed to open the new account especially when the front page of the online login says they are currently supporting a higher level of customer activity than usual. Maybe all the people on the MSE Forum renewing their accounts is slowing the system down!!
Update I tried using the add account option via the website and got the following message
Account Number has already been added or it is awaiting approval.

Please don't use confusing times like '02.00pm'! The whole point of putting a zero in front of this time is to distinguish it from 14:00 on the 24-hour clock, which was designed to dispense with am and pm.
I'm talking generally, as it's obvious in this case that you mean this afternoon. I've still thanked your post though, as mine was due to mature today.

@Bridlington1 - Ecology BS Ecology Regular Saver - 6.00% AER variable*; £0-£200 per month, £10 to keep it open, no withdrawals except by closure, £2400 max.
*Moneyfacts currently saying fixed rate, but Ecology's site says it is variable.
the apply button is not currently working, so perhaps not launching until tomorrow… nor does their app seem able to complete the application process - frozen screen after submitting.
as @MaxBlax says, page no longer there - so assuming they're either fixing the application process and/or launching tomorrow.

@Bridlington1 The hyperlink in your comment produced 404 - Page not found! and is therefore a broken link
