Just found this thread.
I have 2k I would like to deposit and would like an account I can make further deposits into, probably between £20 and £50 a month.
I am a basic rate taxpayer and I live in the East Midlands and I am not fussed about easy access.SPC 0370 -

You'd be better with a different account for your £2K lump sum though, check out https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/savings-accounts-best-interest/ for those that fit your needs best - you can lock your money away in a fixed term account for better rates if you don't need easy access.0 -
Branch product have been going hand in hand with e Saver as additional product .
Do they actually replace the online e-Saver version with the branch products or they just remove the online e Saver option ??
They have been running the store version side by side with the online version from the beginning, but the sequence - for now anyway - has been broken by no new online account recently.
We are all patiently awaiting the dawn of that day0 -
Without sounding daft, why would I be better with a different account for my 2k, rather than a regular saver which I can deposit into and increase my 2k?SPC 0370

What are regular savings accounts?
The clue's in the name. Regular savings accounts require you to put money away each month. They offer blockbuster interest rates, but tend to impose rigid terms and conditions, such as limiting the amount of withdrawals you can make, or forcing you to make a deposit every month.0 -

Because you can't put all £2k in a RS at once... but you can in a several hi interest current accounts (CA), many of which are paying as good rates as in RSs, but on all your £2k from the start.0 -

You can only dribble your savings into a regular saver, usually at £250 per month, but with an interest bearing current account you get your interest on the full amount from day one!
Best of both worlds open the current account and start dribbling!0 -
Oh I see.
That I didn't realise, I could deposit my 2k throughout the rest of the year then?SPC 0370
