Thank you Karlie.
Just the sort of kind and informative post this forum needs.

EDIT - This is old news, sorry

Now I know we don't mention the V***** word on this thread, but it looks like the online version of the Virgin regular saver is back....

2.0% on up to £250/month.

It'll be interesting to hear from anyone who tries this out and gets clobbered by the Santander statement/warning:

"If you don’t fund the account from your Santander current account or if you deposit more than £200 in any month, Santander reserve the right to change your account into an Everyday Saver."

Pretty sure I've had both accounts opened at the same time before but can anyone confirm I can have a Halifax 2% Regular and a Bank of Scotland 2% regular open at the same time?
Thanks.

They blocked my application last time but, like you, I think I got away with it in the  past.

Correction - after I opened it and paid in the £250 they closed it locking the money from online access. They said I have to take passport to a branch to get it out. So that's the risk if they decide to take issue. I'm still paying into the Halifax one.

There is nothing in the terms to say you cannot have both.  I've had both at the same time recently.
They are quite different products (not only in name, but one allows part withdrawals, the other doesn't).

Me too.
Note that they are slightly different T&C's.
