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.

You can also visit them in branch before the RS matures, they will give you a receipt for your passport and post your cheque to you upon maturity of the account.

Unless they allow people to give maturity instruction at the same time when the people open this saving account, it is not very useful for many people as they will still need to travel to their branch to close it. The point I raised previously was the requirement to make a second trip just to close the AC which was not usual.

It might be usefull for very limited number of people who visit the area a few times within the year, but this sort of people should not have the problem with this AC from the beginning, do not they ??

I just feel grateful that I live within a bus pass journey to my nearest branch. It takes an hour but it's a nice trip out and the Derbyshire countryside can be very attractive

One day they may decide to join the 21st century.

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.

Even existing members like me who don't live in one of their heartland postcode areas (listed below) don't qualify either. I live in a London E postcode - which is now outside their 'heartland' even though they had a branch in Stratford E15 until a couple of years ago.

Just a shame as a long term customer I can't join in the 170th birthday celebrations!!

About an hour on a direct train for me, but I work for the railway so doesn't cost ne anything.
Went to Newport a couple of months ago to get Principality's Learner Earner and Monmouthshire's couple of regular savers they had going

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

Quick and efficient service received for a postal application.

Application posted Sat 21/12
Account opened Mon 23/12
ID returned Tue 24/12
Passbook received Sat 28/12

Pretty good considering the Xmas period. Well done SRBS.

Looks like the Monmouthshire Celebration Regular saver @ 3% has been pulled.
Lucky for me I managed to get to an agency 50mins away in Hereford two days ago and opened one, plus they have a 2.5% regular saver which I also got my hands on and that one is still available.

I opened the 3% Celebration RS when it was, briefly, available online last April. Good move.

I thought I had overlooked the 2.5% one but I see that it is branch only
