For completeness: Saffron BS has also just launched a "170th birthday" RSA paying 2.50%. It has postcode restrictions, however these do extend a little beyond the immediate operating area.

It appears that existing Saffron customer can apply for the birthday one online even if they have the normal RS one (certainly if you have issue 3). I haven't gone ahead with the application but perhaps someone who does can confirm that they managed to open one, and that it stays open.:cool:

The Santander RS rate is now 2.5% and Nationwide have scrapped their RS altogether.

I thought my post was clear enough? I told the very confident person I spoke to that I had No:3 and asked if I could have No:4 as well. Answer was no; they didn't need to consult/check/ask someone else. They knew.

I can confirm it's not possible, at least not online. If you have an issue 3, issue 4 is not on the menu of additional savings accounts to open online. You got the 170th birthday one on the list though......

Existing Santander Monthly Saver accounts are still 3% AER.

Yep, that’s correct Colsten, and existing Nationwide ones are still at 5% until maturity.

Interesting to know you can open online, but please let us know if they subsequently close your account if you dont live in the required areas.

Yes, done so.
Once the account has the min. of £100 the full interest rate will be applied.
I had thought the 28th of each month cut for payments to count was fixed, but on talking to someone on the phone - this is a mere recommendation to help deal with bank holidays.

If you made your first deposit today, you can make your next one on Thursday.

Would appreciate updates on this in a couple of days please. Saffron BS were on the ball when their systems allowed multiple reg savers of the same issue a few months ago. Took a day or two for them to realise.
