The next issue of the Leeds Regular Saver is available from tomorrow, Tuesday 4th September 2018, with a maturity date of 1st September 2019, but unfortunately they're sticking with the 2.3% interest rate.

Its variable, so you never know, it might go up! A bit of a risk - you can't take your money out if 2% becomes less favourable than it is now.

It may be 2%, but you can save £500 per month for 17 months.

What I would put into it is earning 1.5% interest, so the benefit would be small. Only do 2.5% or better now

Thanks Schiff!
Yes, mine is earning 1.5% too! My point is that if you can pay more in, ie £500 per month, and especially over more months than one year, then even 2% is a better deal than, say 2.5% on £250 monthly payments for a year.

My cut-off depends on how easy the account is to open, operate and close. For something like the online Virgin accounts, I'd happily do that for as little as 0.50% extra interest. It takes literally 45 seconds to open.


If I have to print a form, then I'd be looking for at least 1% extra.


And for a branch visit, I'd expect a lot more.

This may have been asked before... Virgin in a search is a waste of time:
As I was in town on another mission, I just* opened my first Virgin store RS ac :

Does it show up in your on line accounts list eventually?
