Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Special_Saver2

Hi Everybody,

I have added the Nottingham BS Christmas Saver account to post 3. Thanks to veryintrigued for pointing it out. The account pays 5% gross fixed interest on up to £250 per month until the end of November 2014. No withdrawals can be made before maturity.

There is nothing else that I can find that has changed.

I will do another update next weekend.

Hi All,
Is there any regular saving account that allows one to pay 500 pounds per month? My partner and I are thinking of starting a savings pot and it would be easier to have the cash going into one monthly saver acc. Thanks

The Nationwide does for starters

If you look at the first few posts in thread it gives you available products, how much you can save in each ,etc etc.:D

Many thanks... I was of the thought that they are from ages ago which was why I skipped to the last 2 pages.

i think you will find that you can pay in a cheque to open the account, and then specify the date (or select a date from some options they give you) for subsequent months. or, if like West Brom, they will let you arrange it yourself, from your current account, by SO.

the Nationwide rates aren't great, but being able to tuck up to £1k/m in there is a good, and unusual, feature

Also looking ahead to closure. Am I correct in thinking that this would have to be closed on 1st November of a particular year so as not to forfeit the bonus?

Yes, but if you wanted the capital (less current years interest) back you'd simply make your one withdrawal at any time and leave £50 in there.

Obviously you'd still have to pay in at least £50 a month for the months remaining in the account year to protect the bonus.

I would strongly advise anyone considering Ulster Bank not to do so.

They claim "easy access" by phone or web if registered with Anytime Banking. I am registered (for my credit card) but do not have a current account. I cannot access my money by web or phone unless I have a card reader/card, and I cannot have those unless I have a current account.

Thus I have to write a letter so they can send me a cheque.

I have logged a complaint, and will keep following it until they change their highly incorrect website wording (and phone advice) to avoid others being caught out. I see this has been discussed on these forums in the past too, it's been going on for years.
