You need to be quick you never know what YBS will do, such as withdraw these products.;)

If I could remember exactly they have withdrawn their internet saver a couple of months ago only to be available again to new customers this month. And you never know just like Lloyds TSB they have pulled the plugs on their monthly saver which could happen as well to their regular saver which is 7% starting Sunday 28/01/07.

This could now be one of the best RS out there as you can deposit anytime to your account provided you won't go above £500 (maximum deposit monthly) and allowed one withdrawal in a year without losing your bonus.

At the moment I can only see my ybs internet saver online.
Does anyone know if I have to request in writing to be able to see my regular saver as well?
I couldn't see anywhere to "add new accounts" like I can with my halifax online banking.

AFAIK, it appears automatically.

I already had an internet saver, offset mortgage, and several other accounts showing in my online area when I opened my regular saver last Saturday.

When I checked my accounts on Sunday morning, the regular saver had been added.

Hi annie,
You have to request it in writing - there is a downloadable form on the website but I'm darned if I can find it at the mo. My reg saver is visible but we're waiting for Mrs W's to become so, she applied later than me.

EDITED to add:
The difference with YorkshireBoy may be that the internet saver is joint whereas the reg savers are individual - get more in if you see what I mean!!

What the maximum that you can deposit in this account when first opened?

Could be. I have about 10 accounts (many of them are old closed sharesave accounts), including both joint and sole internet savers, 2 x offset savings accounts, and my offset mortgage account.

Can YBS not go down the PLC route and give all savers and borrowers something to cheer about

As what YB has said it should appear automatically. I applied for their RS last Monday and RS has been added to my online accounts the following day.
