Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Special_Saver2

Hi Everybody,

The regular savings accounts seem to have temporarily disappeared from the Skipton BS website.

I cannot find anything that has changed over the last week, so there is nothing to add or remove to the first page of this thread!

I will do another update next weekend.

Thanks for the heads up. I have removed the Skipton BS Christmas Saver (withdrawn today) and updated the details of the Skipton BS Regular Saver account.

I will point out that you can only open one of these accounts under the new terms and conditions (you could open 3 accounts under the old terms and conditions). I don't know whether people who already have one of these accounts currently running can open a new one without closing their existing account. If you already have an account and try to open a new one of these then post a message on this thread to let us know how you get on.

The maximum monthly deposit has now been increased to £500 per month. This account cannot be opened online at the moment (unlike before) although the terms and conditions do still refer to this possibility so I am going to wait and see if that option appears over the next few days. This account now makes it to the top of post 4!

Good because you could open up to £500 a month another good place to keep your money away be eaten by inflation.

You can't - in branch or by post only.
