Your response wasn't yet showing when I posted mine. The next two posters don't have an excuse! 😁

To be fair, the next posts were on the next page… and I didn't notice there was this 'trap' set until after I posted.

So there still are excuses.. :)

On this subject, I must say I do like the remaining allowance bar that Ecology have, which confirms that it is definitely £200 per month. Very useful for an account likely to see ad hoc funding due to the early closure only condition.

Perhaps the confusion has arisen from EBS being used as abbreviation somewhere. ESBS would mean Earl Shilton, but very easy to think that EBS meant that when the Earl Shilton account came along a few days later.

To be fair, none of them were showing for me, which I why I posted. Just trying to be helpful.

I do wish they'd sort out the text editor, it'd be so handy if we could see the full trail of quotes in each message, it'd avoid so much confusion.

Earl Shilton BS (ESBS) Online RS

The info was correct when I posted it so shan't be changed on the archived thread. The term you've added has been slipped in by them since it was launched.

I'll update p1 of this thread to reflect the additional term though, but for anyone who applied before the term was added, you've good grounds to complain if they try enforcing the ``Failure to make a deposit of at least £1 per month will result in account closure" rule as it wasn't in the terms when you applied.

Monmouthshire BS

Not sure how many have the branch accounts of the RS, I opened one last year that is due to mature on the 28th of this month. I received my maturity instructions in the post today and there was nothing exciting to pick as a maturity account and hence I intend to withdraw the funds to my bank, unless something good appears in the meantime.

To do this, I was expecting to complete the form and maybe send back my passbook (latter not required it seems). What I was not expecting was having to supply an original or certified copy of my bank statement for the account I want to withdraw too.

I have requested one from my bank now and I should get it within 5 to 10 working days, cutting it close. Wanted to give a heads up to anyone else that has one maturing shortly, that they might want to get a paper statement request underway.
