locked account
My account has also been locked for 5 days now with no explanation given ..... I cannot access it and I am getting very worried. I have called costumer service twice and they were very unhelpful stating they cannot give me a timeline of when it will unlock. This is even though I have explained that I require access to my own money very soon.

Only 34% of the EU27 countries’ exports leave the EU
For the UK it’s 53%

mm2

Have a look at Marcus

mm2 - you need all your funds instant access? You have no investments whatsoever? All quoted securities of course are instantly saleable - but not recommended if you are doing it on a weekly basis.
(Not meant to be prying btw).

There is no fun in watching yourself not win every month for a decade or so.

Like the lottery.

Mugs' games both of them.

Waste of money and poor average returns.

[mikemichael2] 23/8/2019 11:22

Premium bonds might be a good idea,takes 8 days plus bank clearing to get your money back and might be a bit of fun.Max holding 50k though.

[gotnorolex] 23/8/2019 11:18

Amidst the €uphoria of Boris's triumph..there are just a few snags..




Brexiter Tories tell Boris Johnson backstop is not only problem with withdrawal agreement

Boris Johnson is back in the UK after his trips to Berlin and Paris. Despite the attempts of some in the media to suggest that he has achieved some sort of breakthrough (take a look at the Daily Express splash here - and then compare it with the Guardian’s take here, which of course is much more reliable), a solution to the Brexit crisis seems no closer than ever. And, as the Daily Telegraph (paywall) is reporting this morning, even if Johnson were to find an alternative to the backstop acceptable to the EU, Tory Brexiters are telling him that that would not be enough to persuade them to vote for the withdrawal agreement because there are other aspects of it that they want to change.

David Davis, the former Brexit secretary, told the Telegraph’s Brexit podcast that he had a whole shopping list of desired changes. He said:

I’d argue for contingency on the money. I’d argue for tighter limits, timetable limits, sunset clauses on ECJ and things like that. I’d have a small shopping list.

It wouldn’t be a ridiculous one, but one I think that any serious European Parliament and any European Council that wants a deal could go with.

If I were doing this for Boris, I would be insistent on is that they make the bill - the £39bn, the second half of it - contingent on progress on the future economic partnership.

And Sir Bill Cash told the paper:

You can’t restore self-government as a cut and paste operation and I am sure they understand that - taking parts of the withdrawal agreement.

We will be governed for a number of years by the other 27 member states under the existing draft withdrawal agreement ... even with the backstop removed.

well you might as well have the full amount invested in premium bonds as money in accounts is a waste..

[alphorn] 23/8/2019 10:29

mm2 - one of my favorite boring investments is Lloyds LLPE. Yielding 6.09% today.
Have a look - there is a thread on the subject.

[alphorn] 23/8/2019 10:24

mm2 - I moved banks last year as the charges to keep uninvested cash became ridiculous.
edit: Not sure about Venezuela!

[minerve 2] 23/8/2019 10:22

mm2

Versus inflation you are losing purchasing power. I wouldn't even bother to look for the best deals.

[mikemichael2] 23/8/2019 10:21

Not yet Alp.

I can get 24% in Venezuela, what do you reckon?

[bargainbob] 23/8/2019 10:20

Will the Nag hold 50p today will Buywell/ SentimentalRules be silent for a day.

[alphorn] 23/8/2019 10:20

mm2 - at least you are not paying the bank to keep your cash.
