Was an account offered to new customers only back in June (Easy Access Bonus Rate Summer Saver 1) paying 5.01% for 6 months. Max £120k. Don't think it was on sale for very long!

Thanks @fuzzzzy, yes 5.01%, corrected.

An aside, how quick are withdrawals from Ox?

Scottish BS

I had the same email and already have online access & a nominated account set up - it says it will automatically morph into an EA but you need to phone/message them if you want something different to happen. I had no idea they even had an app and I'm normally on top of that sort of thing, so thanks for pointing that out. Here's hoping it makes extraction a little bit quicker.

The app appeared earlier this year, around the time they changed their online system (when numeric user id changed to email address). The app is limited in functionality but withdrawals definitely work!

I withdrew from Scottish (scheduled in advance) and HEBS on the 29th, to fill September’s allowances. Scottish arrived by about 10:30 so I don’t anticipate any problems as the accounts mature.

If you get your withdrawal request in by 1pm, the money is through at around 4pm same day.

Was on the phone to them just now, and while explaining what l had done, the £100 was returned to my bank account. Got there in the end.

Yes I've just been reconciling my October balances and see I left the S/O for one of the Hanley accounts running to a 13th payment in error, mine too has an asterisk.

I expect it will be returned. Last time they bounced a payment back it was 5 days in transit

Oh well, some you win, some you don't. I did once send £20K to another institution without doing my usual £10 test payment first. I'd missed a couple of digits off. Despite phoning my bank, they were unable to recall it, I had to wait for it to bounce. Didn't tell my OH……
