Regular Saver Thread **New and Restarted**

Just read this thread on my email daily updates and I am frustrated that I have no clue as to whose RS is being discussed. Had to go to the website to scroll back to find out. I can see now that schiff put hsbc RS in a title but that didn’t show up in subsequent posts. I wish all comments would say which bank they are talking about. I am not naming one here because it applies to all RS.

I'm afraid this is an ongoing problem. Most discussions are fairly brief and the posts are gathered together so it's easy to infer which one is being talked about, even if its name is not quoted in the message. The problem arises if someone starts to talk about a RS that hasn't been talked about recently. Though usually its name is mentioned.

You just have to hope that people realise the problem when they post
but nothing in life is perfect. Anyway, now that you're newly retired I assume that you will have the time to delve

now that you're newly retired

Newly retired joined MSE in 2007 so, I assume, is not really "Newly retired" any more!

In my experience when you're newly retired you suddenly have more time. As time moves on and you lose the capacity to do 'other things' like running marathons, your spare time increases exponentially until, if you're not careful, you can spend time bored stiff!

PS: someone is going to tell me off shortly

For info of SS2 and anyone else who may be interested.....
TSB online system does not currently permit online applications for the monthly saver. So can only be opened in branch at the moment.
Web page says they will give us a date when they expect to be opening their new platform for online applications, and just says 'coming soon' for all savings products. (Given their present difficulties, I wonder if 'soon' is an appropriate word.)
It may be apprpriate for SS2 to check and modify post 5 upon return from hols.

You can open a new monthly saver by phone; I did.

You were lucky! I just phoned them and they said that I would have to go into a branch at the moment but the web site should be up and running within a week or so for new applications. To keep checking online was their advice.

Heya, anyone who has previous issues of these, also getting issue 12, if so , what will be your purpose for both?


I have Issue 10 and considering whether to open this one too

We've all the available issues at the moment, on a rolling 12 month basis, so we have them maturing every 2 months. This then re-stocks other accounts and makes pension contributions. It's all about maximising interest on our cash, which will gradually run down, as we enter our "draw-down" phase.
