Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Speculator

Just to add, you can make postal applications for the YBS and Chelsea Celebratory Childrens Saver but the N&P one must be opened in branch.

Also, N&P confirmed that you can open one with each BS.

It's a shame N&P closed their Holborn branch. My nearest branch is now Cambridge.

Called up our local branch and we were advised that only two branches were offering this (Wisbech being one - cant remember the other one).

Hence mixed messages here from NBS.

Update here - this Special saver account is now being offered at my local branch (and they are suggesting at all branches).

Same details as above - Branch only, 5%, up to £250 a month, ends 31/08/15.

Good luck

are any of the market leading Building Society Regular Savers able to be contributed to via DD rather than SO?

Archi_Bald

nope.............

planteria

thanks Archi...i was wondering about using them to qualify for bonus payments and interest on current accounts.

Archi_Bald

What are the bonus payments you can get if you have DDs?

I would guess something like the Halifax Reward CA - £5 per month but you need 2DD's and deposit £750 per month.

planteria

yes, that is the sort of thing..
Bonus from Halifax, 5% from Nationwide, 3% from Santander..
just have a little 'system' inplace that qualifies for the payments, and was reviewing last night. i only have 1 account where i still need the Tesco DD to qualify, and am looking at closing TIS, having cleared my Tesco creditcard this week, with a view to closing shortly.
i am using Friendly Societies, a Credit Union and a Building Society for my DDs, and would have set up a DD to a BS Regular Saver if i could.

Hi planteria,
Building Society Regular Saver funded by DD.
Progressive BS .. Clockwork RS
Monmouthshire BS .. Saver Plus (2)

Probably there are more out there.

Hi Folks,

I have been able to make an (unexpected) update this weekend.

- Cheshire BS Platinum Monthly Saver remains at issue 10, expiring 30th June 2015, so I have moved this account to post 7 (less than 12 months to maturity)
- Barnsley / Chelsea / N&P / Yorkshire BS Celebratory Children's Saver paying 5% on up to £150 per month for 12 months for children aged 15 or under (child or parent or grandparent or guardian must have been a member of the building society for 2 years) added to post 4

I will do another update next weekend.
