Ah! What is the sort code and account number to set up the SO please. Is it one of those where you enter your account number as the reference?

I received my passbook today, after posting my application and cheque on the 20th August. The payment dated in the passbook was 21st, the day they would have received it.

Mmm... I heard at the beginning of the month that Virgin Money would be sending letters to notify a rate increase to 2.5% for the earlier issues of the branch regular savers.

Virgin Money letter received, referring to increase in rate from 2.25% to 2.5% for Regular Saver issues 7, 8, 9, and 11.

I didn't apply until this week as we have been away but I got my form back the next day and I then sent off the cheque the same day. So hopefully my account will be fully functional from September 3rd which is good enough.

Given the pittance that 2.3% offers interest wise, I can't see how its economic timewise to make appointments for this, for either the customer or the bank.

Just can't see how anyone can get exited about a below inflation savings rate that over the duration loses money.

Its not money saving, its money wasting as far as I can see, even if you don't value your time. What am I missing?

Another polemic on the subject of time-wasting.

Ironic, or what?

Just asked to close my account so hopefully may find our very soon.

Just received a letter from MBS advising of the (expected) removal of the 1% bonus rate after the first 12 months in mid September.

I've booked an appointment for next week to open Nottingham's Sunshine Regular Saver, but just received a phone call saying its being withdrawn on Saturday 1st September. But they will be launching a new Regular Saver on Monday, paying 2% which matures in January 2020, and you can pay in £500 pm. I believe you'll be able to have both accounts side by side.

Yes you can have both. I have Nottingham's Regular Saver Issue 2 and the Sunshine Regular Saver.
