Virgin RS

I renewed mine in March this year, I’m presume that mine matures 12 months from then and not today as I see no changes in my app to my current RS sat on £1750 (e.g no interest applied)….

Thanks for all the help.

Called this morning and found out the app was the issue.

Deleted the app, reinstalled it, and money was in my account in 5 seconds.

A small loop hole for others, If you want 2k from online banking you can move £500 x 2 from reg saver, then £500 x 2 from bank account.

Thankyou. I've got Principality and Virgin matured as well so I'll do it now.

Thanks again.

Bank Holiday Monday

With Monday being a BH, will I need to top up my Santander from Zopa on Sunday to fund SOs going out on Tuesday, or will I be safe to do the transfer on Monday?

I thought I'd already put in an instruction to close the account today, but double checking that didn't appear to have been on their system, so I just went in and went through the process to close the account. For some reason it dumped me out of the system at the end of the process, and wouldn't let me log back in. I phoned and they confirmed the account is now closed. Because it was the only account I held with them, it won't let me log back in, and they don't send out certificates of interest apparently……. so make sure you take note of what you've received and when. There was that payment of interest at 31st December which will be in the last tax year.

Money should be received by 6pm today.

Don't worry, earlier in the week it did the same to me when I closed my account and it was my only account as well. Funds were in my nominated account in the afternoon of the same day.

I'm just going to let mine mature into an EA and shift the bulk out to fund RSs etc on Tuesday and after … does the job of automatically creating an EA instead of me doing it manually prior to maturity.

Pretty much what I did, withdrew £3k to my nominated yesterday leaving £18 to add to the interest when it matures.

VM - That's not the case for me. I just used the "Login with a 6-digit passcode" button as I haven't had the app installed for ages. No £500/£1000 limit for me.

I think the actual requirement is to have previously registered a security token or app, you don't have to use it to log in.

Principality

Last of my standard RS matured today. Only one account now left with them - the Xmas RS. How things have changed!
