  • There appears to be a Regular Saver Cash ISA with Skipton Building Society too, paying 3.25%, although you can't open one if you've already got a regular saver with Skipton (as I found out today!)

    Hi Folks,

    I have updated the entry in post 9 regarding online banking with Santander and the A&L interface, as suggested in a post above.

    I cannot find anything else to change for this weekend's update.

    I will do another update next weekend.

    Mansfield BS Regular Savings
    Interest rate: 3.1% gross p.a. variable from 1st April 2009
    Monthly payment: £25-£500
    Miss any payments: No
    Penalty-free withdrawals: Yes, can make 2 penalty-free withdrawals
    Special conditions: You can only make one deposit per month. The interest rate is guaranteed to remain at least 3% above the basic annual equivalent rate paid on their Prime Access account.



    Hi SS2
    This account seems to have disappeared, to be replaced by Issue 2.
    Interest rate 3%
    Miss any payments - Yes
    The 2 penalty free withdrawals include closure
    Can make more than one deposit per month
    No link to Prime Access account.

    Hope that helps
  • Hi all,
    Just thought I'd let you know that it seems that the Halifax Child Regular Saver account is no longer available. On the account anniversary it will be converted to a young saver account, with 2% interest, and to get the 6% interest, you have to instead open a "Kids regular saver", which can now only be opened in branch. What a pain... :(
    I don't think I can hang on til Friday...
  • Hi Everybody,

    Chris1, thanks a lot for the info on the Mansfield BS Regular Savings account. The curious thing is that the link to the issue 1 account still works, which is why I did not realise that there was now an issue 2 account. They also have a very similar Young Regular Saver. As the interest rate on these accounts is only 3%, they do not qualify for inclusion on the list on page 1 of this thread at the moment.

    I am sad to see that eMoneyfacts really has gone "subscription only" now.

    There is nothing else that I can find that has changed for this weekend's update. I will do another update next weekend.
