Still no rate rise from Yorkshire?

The new rates were in Friday's Daily Mail. Definitely no change to the Regular Saver, which is a shame as I was considering opening one.

It is a shame. But is there any compelling reason for you not to open the account anyway? Apart from the temptations of luxury sunshine holidays etc.

It's strange that they are not displaying the new rates on their website

Indeed it did, to 6.35%. As a non-home owner, this is an ideal way to get my savings into a 6%+ payer ASAP (only conditions for the 6.35% are to deposit £100 minimum per month, and be a non-home owner or previous mortgager). For my savings which I can't get into my LTSB 8% RegSaver & YBS 7% Regular Saver, this is the ideal pot for the rest of my savings, excluding those in ISAs. It beats IceSave, ICICI and Birmingham Midshires

I've requested an application form online.

ED

When I studied the application pack it stated :

''The bonus only becomes payable when we issue you with a full mortage''

Does this still apply (my analysis for c. a year ago)?

I think that's the £100 bonus on acceptance for a mortgage... which is separate to the interest rate. It talks of a conditional rate of interest, but I guess that is to do with the minimum £100 deposit each month?

As they don't appear to have the T&Cs online, I will have to wait to confirm
