first direct regular saver 8% to be withdrawn

huw01

My guess (or hope) is it will be relaunched at 6%
It always used to be same as the HSBC Reg saver rate for their Premier customers. HSBC Premier customers used to get 8% on regular savings but it dropped to 6% some time ago. I can't see them dropping it to 4% as this is the same as HSBC's ordinary bank account reg saver rate and the FD brand always beats these rates. Discuss

Bummer mine matures on the 5th April, got no chance of getting another one now at 8%

How do you know that is what they are doing? Not that its a problem anyway.

All self righteous again I see. Read this thread by Mr MSE himself.

Not sure what the link is about in this context - it's talking about married couples. In this country, that involves 2 people.

Nine_Lives was talking about 3 FD Regular Savers he opened recently. So he is either married illegally to more than one person, or he has opened bank accounts in other people's names and broken the T&Cs.

You may or may not know that Nine_Lives has previously posted about running other people's accounts (usually his wider family). The fact remains that it is against the T&Cs of any bank to open and operate someone else's bank account without power of attorney.

When you apply for a 1st account it only offers those 2 ordinary savings accounts, I chose the Everyday e-Saver to waive the monthly fee
Once you have opened a 1st account then you can apply for the Regular Saver

You can, yes.

I'm interested in this but have a couple of questions.

Has anyone, not banking with HSBC and being a new customer to FD, successfully opened an account all done electronically?

When you have your monthly salary credit the account to satisfy their £1500, can you just move it out straight away?

Does it need another account to avoid the fee, I thought that was linked to money paid in

It gave me a sort and ac no. for the current account but I need to wait for a posted username and password to setup the 8% ac I think.
Wonder if I will get that before 31st
