Savings Account

We’re aware that some of our customers are having a problem verifying Masthaven account details when attempting to make payments into their account. You may encounter an error message when trying to transfer money, or see a message saying the account details aren’t recognised.
 
This is because the Confirmation of Payee scheme, an account name-checking service that helps make sure payments aren't sent to the wrong bank or building society account, currently only includes large banks. Masthaven plans to join the scheme once smaller banks are able to sign up.
 
To confirm, our sort code is 23-14-51. You can check this is genuine by using a sort code checker, such as the one provided by Faster Payments. Alternatively, you can deposit 1p into your account then log into eBanking to check it has been transferred.
 
If you need any more help, just get in touch.
 

We’ll send you a letter a month before your account is due to mature to remind you and to let you know what your options are.

Monthly interest is credited at the end of the month after you paid money into your account and at the end of every subsequent month.  Annual interest is paid on the anniversary of the account and at maturity.  If you choose to have your interest paid monthly, your interest will vary depending on the number of days in the month.

You set and confirm your instructions online using our eBanking service. We'll send you confirmation on the day of maturity to let you know we've received your instruction. You have up until the day before maturity to change your instruction which is why we wait until the day of maturity before sending you this.

Your account will move into an E-Saver account. Once you've decided what you’d like to do with your money, you can either transfer your money from your E-Saver into a new account with us or transfer the money out into your nominated bank account. We only allow one withdrawal and it must be for the full amount.

If you've requested for your interest to be paid into your nominated bank account, you do not need to deduct the interest from the reinvestment balance. This is automatically done for you.

For example, if you deposited £1,000 and your interest is £10, you have your interest paid out monthly or annually and are looking to reinvest with us, you will need to select to reinvest £1,010 as the £10 will automatically be deducted and sent to you at maturity.

You can change your maturity instructions online using our eBanking service up until the day before your account is due to mature.

We may have referred your application to ensure all your details are up to date. The Savings team are committed to getting you up and running with your new account as soon as possible and we appreciate your patience whilst we take care of everything for you.
 

Choose what to do with your funds by logging into eBanking and following the maturity instructions there. We’ll be in touch before your account matures to let you know how to do this.
 
We’ve also created these helpful guides that walk you through the process:

Reinvesting with us – how to move your funds into a Fixed Rate Account or E-Saver account 
Withdrawing your funds – how to move some or all of your funds to another account

When your savings account matures, there are four things you can do with your money:

• Reinvest your funds in a new account with us
• Move your funds to our E-Saver holding account
• Withdraw your funds
• Move part of your funds into a new account, or E-Saver, and withdraw the rest

We’ll send you a letter a month before your account is due to mature to remind you and let you know what your options are. Two weeks before your account matures, we’ll email you and ask you to log into eBanking to select your maturity option. We've put together the following guides to help you do that:
