    Yes, I'd take some, When I did my annual withdrawal last year, I was asked for ID, I'd brought some with me, as I'd been surprised before at Leeds Building Society when trying to close the Issue 2 Regular Saver, and I didn't bring any with me.

    I thought they would just check your signature in the passbook against the UV light.

    They probably do that too, but they insisted about the ID for the first time, and so didn't chance it the second time and brought some with me.

    So much easier in HK. I just show them my Permanent Resident HK ID card. I use it to open accounts and also withraw money.

    Don't know why they don't do a national ID card in the UK. Not everyone drives and not everyone has a passport.

    Because we don't need them, and it was voted against.

    Even if you don't have a passport or driving licence (vast majority has at least one of those) there are other methods they accept.

    It might be easier Speculator, but saving in HK seems to be far less rewarding:cool: than in UK.

    August will reach £,6000.

    Ah right same as me.

    Not a criticism as I didn't class that as 'close' and ive plenty of products on my spreadsheet that mature before this.

    I just wondered if I'd missed a trick on opening this.

    Cheers for the reply.

    Well if you go to branch 31 August and have the book updated with interest paid that day, and then withdraw money, you've gone it on the last day of the bonus period. So technically you could withdraw more on 1 September on the first day of the new bonus period.

    Think I get to 6k in my july payment, so cant make the August one without making a withdrawal.

    Is that where everyone else is at> Im expecting them to close the issue, after all they closed issue 3 for payments eventually.

    I've not hit the maximum as I was only using it to save small amounts, but I am expecting them to close the issue as they did for Issue 3 last year.

    The issue was released in September 2016, so you couldn't reach the max by July? It would be August.
