Regular Saver Thread **New and Restarted**

Who knows but rest assured, within minutes of it being announced it will be on here!

They usually make them available between the 11th and the 20th or so of odd numbered months. My records show I made my first deposit to the Issue 12 on 20/07 and Issue 10 on 23/03. I'm usually pretty quick about opening these so those are likely to be the dates they were announced

So they are not late by historical standards, live in hope eh?

thanks for that

I thought Virgin tended to launch each Regular eSaver on the last Friday of each odd month, so fingers crossed for this week?

I complied a list a couple of months ago and the launch dates are as follows. I do not believe that there is any pattern in the release dates but I hope that there will be an issue 13 soon.

Looks a pretty clear pattern there to me. 9 - 11 - 1 - 3 -5 - 7 - 9 - 11 - 1 - 3 - 5 - 7. So the next number would be 9.

so a scan of your passport and a credit card bill with your name and address wont do? That was all I was going to send alongside a cheque which also has my name on.

If it is of any help to anybody being put off by the Scottish BS requirement of certified documentation please note the following.

I have previously had Scottish BS regular savers but not for a couple of years. I tongue in cheek emailed them and asked whether I was exempt from providing ID and the reply this morning said

I do see that you previously held accounts with us. If you wish to open a new Regular Saver with us you would need to provide new identification, one piece proving your identity and another proving your address.
We can either accept originals or certified copies


The person didn't say whether they would return them but I expect they would.

Most people should be able to cope with two pieces of ID without sending off passports/driving licences etc.

Hope that helps
