Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Hi Folks,

Here is this weekend's update:

- Progressive BS Regular e-Saver (Issue 2) entry updated to reflect it is now only available to existing members or new customers resident in Northern Ireland

- Nottingham BS Special Saver removed from post 7 due to information from post 2739 by Newly retired and the account has also disappeared from the Moneyfacts website where I found it

- Nottingham BS Special Saver (Issue 2) added to post 3 from information on the issue 1 account and posts 2747 and 2750 by Ken68 (not yet added to Moneyfacts website)

- Holmsedale BS Regular Saver (Issue 2) removed from post 4 as account closed to new applicants; I have not added issue 3 as the interest rate is only 2% without any particularly good features so it is does not meet the criteria in post 1 to be added to post 4

- Newcastle BS Big Home Saver (Issue 2) entry in post 8 updates to reflect that five of us (myself included) have been able to open an issue 2 account in addition to holding an issue 1 account

- Cheshire BS Platinum Monthly Saver (Issue 11) withdrawn; Cheshire BS are now just offering Nationwide savings accounts

- Buckinghamshire BS Simple Regular Saver (Issue 2) and Darlington BS Monthly Supersaver (Issue 2) removed from my list as in checking through the list I have realised they are not good enough to meet the criteria in post 1

- Nottingham BS Robin Hood Young Saver Account (3% variable until child's 17th birthday) withdrawn and replaced with Issue 2 that pays 3% fixed until 31st January 2016

- Barnsley BS Celebratory Children's Saver withdrawn

- Chelsea BS Celebratory Children's Saver withdrawn

- Norwich and Peterborough BS Celebratory Children's Saver withdrawn

- Yorkshire BS Celebratory Children's Saver withdrawn

BigBelly, I would point out that the Newcastle BS Big Home Saver requires deposits to be made within the account month (from anniversary of opening the account), not the calendar month. This means that if you open the account on 7th January, then the next payment has to be some time from 7th February to 6th March.

Thanks to all the people who contributed information in the posts above. If anybody hears that the Nottingham BS Wisbech account has been withdrawn then please let me know.

The next update may not be next weekend but will be within the next 1-2 weeks.

I have found a few more changes to update - I have edited my post above to include the changes.

Ed-1, thanks for the information. Given that information, I am going to remove the Wisbech account now (and leave the Special Saver) plus I have just updated the Big Home Saver account entry with the information you have provided.
