    Does anyone have the details for making BACS deposits to Leeds Building Soc Regular Saver?

    I am sure it has been asked and answered before but it is a long thread to check and the LBS site has nothing.

    Thanks

    Faster Payment, BACS, Standing Order, CHAPS and IMO,
    quoting sort code 40-27-15, account number 12440040 and
    your Account number.
    Just checked and those are the details I use.

  • Please, has anyone heard yet from Leeds Building Society the terms (if any) that it will offer for continuing subscriptions to their 3rd Issue RS, which matures on 31st October?

    No.

    But as it is a non fixed term account, I will continue to pay in £250 per month:)

    It doesn't mature on 31st October - that is simply when interest gets paid. You can keep paying money in after that. In previous editions, the Leeds regular savers have accepted new money for much longer then 12 months.

    It doesn't mature, its an ongoing account till they decide to pull it in favour of issue 4, 31st October is when the interest is paid, you continue to fund the account as normal, till otherwise told.

    I have held issue 3 since February 2015.

    Not sure if been mentioned previously but phoned to open another M&S Reg Saver today and was told that I actually get 6% not the 5% I was expecting given I switched my current account to M&S pre (think she said 29th) Sep 2016. She said to ignore the account literature to follow in the post where it mentions the 5% as I would receive additional separate confirmation in the post that I will actually get 6%.

    Did you get this persons name? just in case the additional separate confirmation never arrives?

    I thought regular saver rates are based on opening dates?

    That's what I thought so was surprised when she said 6%. She did explicitly read out information about the product which included this stuff re getting 6% not 5% so it didn't sound like it was someone who was making an error / got confused about the details. Didn't get her name but hopefully if any issue will have a call recording or log of who I spoke to in my customer details.

    Could've been easily done if reading from the old T&C"s especially as its only just dropped to 5%... Just a thought.
