Xmas savers from Principality usually the end of October. Not so sure they will do another 6 monthly otherwise I’d have expected them to leave the product bubbling along at the uncompetitive interest rate of Issue 6 (5%.)

I'm also getting an error either withdrawing from or closing my Melton RS6.

I love this thread - came online to mention the Chase saver and it has already been discussed since yesterday! I wonder if the regular saver balance will count towards the £1,000 of savings required for 2% cashback? Not a big fan of the money languishing at 2.25%…

Melton RS6

I’ve never withdrawn from it, so I don’t know, but has anyone successfully withdrawn from it in the past? If so, could it be that the maturity process is already in progress, preventing the closure?

I needed some extra money today so I’ve had to take £500 and change from HEBS instead (£10 charge if below £500.)

Chase - Passport photo and selfie problem. I was able to sail through this ID procedure without a problem. OH however keeps getting rejected. I have a better camera specification on my phone than her phone. Could this be the problem? I guess there isn`t an alternative method of ID check.

There's no alternative ID verification method.

Putting aside any fundamental issues with your OH's profile (not on electoral register for eg) then these problems are often as you say just down to the actual taking of the photo/selfie.

Common issue with passport/DL is reflections from their shiny surfaces - can be difficult get decent illumination without obscuring the details. Sticking the thing on a black background will help the camera, as will trying to illuminate with natural light.

Don't be tempted to use any of the phone's clever photo "enhancing" tricks, these are often detected by the ID verifiers as tampering which will bounce the application.

BUCKS BS RSO2 withdrawals

Having opened with the required £10 deposit there seems no way to make a withdrawal (to £1) terms:

On account details when logged in it does state minimum balance £10; however cannot find this in the Ts&Cs?
