Coventry BS has launched today a new RSA: 2.50% variable rate, 12 months, max £500 pm.

It's permitted to apply online, however they seem to be a stickler for ID requirements.

Thanks for the heads-up! Just applied online, and account opened instantly (I'm an existing Coventry member) but not yet showing up in my Online Account Summary. The confirmation screen said it would be visible there "shortly".


Edit: And it's now showing up, approximately 1 hour after application.

Nice to not have to commit to any regular deposits and can make them ad hoc, as most of our cash is tied up in notice accounts and other RSs.

It's a case of weighing up the rate in the float account v the RS.

Yes, I don't even bother to look at Regular Savers paying 2% or less, as I know I can get a better return by putting the same lump sum into a 1-year fixed rate bond, or a notice account. Anything over 2% is worth looking at. Different if the RS is being funded from income, rather than a lump sum, of course.

What about easy access RSA such as Lloyds Monthly Saver 2.0% or BOS monthly saver paying 2.0% ??
