Can I withdraw my money?

Withdrawals may be made with no loss of interest following 180 days' written notice by post or online. Immediate withdrawals are not permitted. The Society will then transfer the money to your nominated account by the Faster Payments Service. Your funds will then be available to you on the next working day, so please take this into account when making a withdrawal (this is not suitable if you think you may need the money on the same day).
