This is my first post so please be kind.
I have money in a 5 year account which I re-invest every month. My question is, does each monthly interest last for 5 year or does it last till the end of the 5 years of the original investment?

The automatic way is via the re-investment link on the left hand side under 'instructions'. That screen shows what you have invested in all the markets and the re-investment instructions for each market. You can set the 5yr to reinvest in the either the 5yr/3yr/1yr or monthly markets and how much - either All or Capital only. Thanks pepperpot.

Also remember, iirc, '5 year' matches can be for 4 or 5 years, and can also be (often are) paid back early. Makes sorting out a definite end date rather challenging. 8>.

24% of 5-year loan customers make an over-payment at some point in the loan term, with as an average the payments being more than half of the outstanding balance (i.e. quite a lot of the 24% pay of the loan early) I did the stats a while back as a few customers had asked about it, and it might have made a nice blog (I thought). But it didn't happen. Funnily enough the "benefit" of this is debatable. Some lenders like early repayment so that the average term reduces and they can then make an active decision on what do do. Others prefer the money to be tied away and not have to think, especially if they were on a higher rate than currently available. @ westonkevRS. link.ratesetter.com/8Ls46js www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=19236219 |

That way both groups might be happier.

This option might be cool for the aficionados but to others it just adds unwanted additional choice to be confused by. And many find the concept of the markets confusing already! @ westonkevRS
