Regular Saver Thread **New and Restarted**

quirkydeptless

My Principality Regular Saver Issue 19 matured Today and appeared straight into my Current account.

I've got Issue 20 and the Xmas saver in the pipeline, and i'm also in their Rewards scheme so there's a hope of a free ticket to the Principality Stadium sometime :money:

Very happy with this Building Society. :T

Agreed, Principality is a nice BS to deal with

This RS is good in current climate as it will allow you to put up to £500 per month, no maturity and 4 fee free withdrawals pa which is more than enough for people who already have some other RSAs.

Can I withdraw money?
• No notice required for Cash withdrawals up to £500. A minimum of 24 hours’ notice for cash withdrawals up to £2,500 is required.
• Withdrawals will not be allowed without the passbook.
• Withdrawals can be made by post (cheque only) and must include a signed letter specifying the amount and cheque payee along with the passbook.
• Withdrawals are limited to no more than 4 per Society year.

Stafford Railway BS has launched an RSA: 2.00% variable, max £500 per month, branch/postal, available to UK residents, no online functionality, RSA appears to have indefinite term.

They seem quite picky on ID. I might hold off, just for now.

Interesting one... Why don't they have online? At least to check your balance.
And not even phone?

Nice when rectifying their mistakes.

I called them on 28/11 to give maturity instructions to my account maturing on 12/12. All good.

Two hours later I noticed a deposit of £6065 in my current account. It came from PBS....they had closed my account!

On calling them they immediately put their hands up to the mistake and offered me a considerable amount more than any lost interest.

just noticed the Principality RS @ 2.75% has been pulled!
Is that news?

Yeah it was still there on Thursday so I guess it was pulled yesterday. No surprise I guess since it being a Christmas saver, would be silly having any of them maturing much beyond this point

Two RSAs on our list from Nottingham BS, each paying 2.50%, have been pulled: the Seasonal Saver and the Special Saver Issue 8. At present the Nottingham BS has no adult RSA paying higher than 1.60%. On past form, I daresay they'll launch a competitive product in the next couple of months.

I have RS ISA with them and they invited me to open these two RS but I did not bother.

The main problem with Nottingham BS RSA products is that you will need to come to the branch to open it. When you want to close you will also need to come to the branch. They even do not allow to send cheque to your address. With its RSA ISA you just need to come the the brach to open it. You do not need to come to the branch to close it as you could do ISA transfer directly to another ISA provider.

Considering only a tiny difference (from the flexible savers you already have) it is only worthy if you have a branch near you.

Just noticed the Saffron BS 170th Birthday Regular Saver (matures after 12 months) @2.5% was pulled for new customers at the end of November.

Although Nottingham BS RSA have to be opened in branch, they can be closed by posting your pass book to their head office address and they will post out a cheque.
