Melton BS RS6

Can I please check that my total interest matches up with others?

I paid in £200 per month from September 2024 to August 2026, so 24 payments X £200 = £4800. (I could have made another payment on 1/9/26 but didn't, so my interest will be slightly less than those who made a 25th payment in Sept 2026)

Interest received:-

31/03/25 £27.00

31/03/26 £162.84

30/09/26 £47.57 (showing as credited in the online RS, now closed)

1/10/26 £92.31 (received into nominated account on 1/10/26, but not showing online as instant access account was closed by me on 30/9)

TOTAL INTEREST £329.72

Ecology RS returned payments -- for what it's worth, there were reports of this happening last month as well (this post onwards):

Ecology BS RS

My standing order for October (made at the same time around 1am this morning as numerous other SO's) was returned by Ecology to my bank account ("exceeding monthly allowance").

Same thing happened last month.

I have now successfully paid in to Ecology manually.

Could it be that Ecology is working on GMT and not BST? If so, this problem shouldn't happen on 1st November.

West brom winter ready RS

I've accidentally sent two payments today to the account. One was my final standing order, and another manually sent. There was about a 20-minute difference. Tiredness won.

Looking online, it only shows the standing order. So will the excess £100 be sent back, or will they send the whole £200?

Edit update. 2/10/26

The £100 was returned today just over 24 hours later.

Chase - again.

I use a standard Chase savings account as a feeder to my RSs elsewhere, largely because I can set up standing orders from the savings account and it all happens automatically. The one RS for which I can't set up regular transfers from a Chase savings account is … the Chase RS!

I'm sure it's because they use standard SO s/w from the savings account, and without a sort code and account number this won't work - but they have a regular transfer facility from the Chase current account, so not impossible for them.

Any answers on whether your payment to Hanley has bounced back yet🤣?

Progressive Online Regular Rainy Day Saver Account 4

Is there a max amount for this account, or can I sneak in a 13th payment?

@Bridlington1 - Monmouthshire BS Regular Saver (Issue 9) - 5.00% variable, £250pm max; £3k max; Restricted to those living in England, Wales & Scotland…. launches on 2nd October (tomorrow).

I assume that means Issue 8 @ 6.00% will shortly go NLA.

Monmouthshire RS Issue 8

When my Issue 8 matured recently, I started funding the duplicate and empty account from previous year, which apparently was live the whole time. Subsequently, I was able to open another Issue 8, so I now have 2.

Worth give it a try, you might get lucky 😉

£3,600 max I believe. If you opened it at launch it hardly seems worth it for a few days either way.
