    We have a TSB Classic Plus joint account and I have just opened up one in my name. Can I transfer the £500 from the joint account to my one or does it have to come from another bank?

    I know SportsAid Regular Save is a branch application.

    Just wonder if anyone has tried to open it by post by downloading the application form, completed and send together with cheque and it is accepted ??

    It was only launched today so doubt anyone has had chance.....but previous Notts RS have been listed on the front page on this thread and annoated with something along the lines of 'several forumites have reported postal applications to branches being rejected'.

    I'd therefore suggest its a waste of a stamp.

    You could do it from one of your TSB account.

    I've just noticed that Leeds Reg Saver issue 4 has a max limit of £6k to get the best interest rate.

    Can anyone remember if Issue 3 had a similar T&C?

    No, the only limit for issue 3 is £250 per month, but Leeds has closed regular savers in the past even though there was no limit in the T&Cs.

    Hi,

    I have a few regular savers coming to their 12 month maturity shortly - HSBC/M+S/FD 6%
    After the 12 months is up + the money is in a different lower savings account, is it then ok to open another 6% 12 month saver with the same bank?
    Just trying to decide what to do next

    Thanks

    Craig

    You need to see if it's available first!

    The maximum investment and operating balance is £1,000,000 (£1,000,000 for joint accounts). Although it is unlikely to reach the limit.

    That is the normal way of operating these sort of accounts. However, as schiff said, 6% may not be available when you come to open a new one.
    Read the T&Cs of each individual account to be sure you still qualify.

    Thanks for that guys :-)

    I will check. I have a maturing TSB one aswell, but that is 2% for a new one now, so defo going to stick that monthly saving towards the mortgage instead

    Cheers
