    You made that bit up didn't you?!

    Their RS is always be like this.
    "As this is a regular saver you must pay in the same amount on the same day each month"

    The above term written in i2 ans i3. You could still find the above term mentioned on Reg Saver i3 which is still active.

    But I just had a look on the summary for Regular Saver for existing members this has not been made clear.It might be worthy asking them.
  • Has anyone received their maturity letter for the Virgin Regular Saver that matures 20/10/2017?

    I know it states that they will write with your options, but other companies send out their letters about 3 weeks to a month in advance and the maturity date is a fortnight from today. I'm only asking as my post seems to be delayed being delivered recently as can be 3 weeks from date of post.

    Not a letter, but e-mail received giving basic details....

    When does interest get added? The original info said annual interest got credited on 11 March, and sure enough interest was credited on 11/03/17. Will closing interest be added on maturity? Or do we have to wait until 10/03/18 when it will be added to the maturity account, unless it is closed before then. Original info lacked detail.

    Or you could just close it and take the interest now instead of waiting until March, particularly in the case of the Issue 4 which matures 20/04/18

    As far as I am aware, the info sofar is only speculation. None has got a definitive answer in writing directly from virgin money. Who wanted to TOFTT asking them in writing ???

    Next time I think for Regular eSaver it is better to ask the interest to be added monthly.

    Good news then. Apart from Ulster Bank which ic paying 1.25%. This is one of the best in this kind of accounts (apart from . Good to have at least one of this account as it could be used as a temporary container for RSA while wasting allocation to a higher interest rate.

    I have a high risk, high return strategy - mine goes into my RCI 1.3% instant access Freedom account until the next decent RS comes along. :tongue:
    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?
