Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Special_Saver2

Hi Everybody,

I am adding the Nottingham BS Special Saver Account (Issue 3) account to post 3 right now.

I cannot see anything else that has changed since last weekend.

I will do another update next weekend.

Special_Saver2 you state that Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank is 2% until March 2015. It should state that these accounts paid 4% from October 2013 until 31st March 2015 for customers who opened while rate was at 4% and now pay 2% to all customers.

Saffron Building Society will launch a new issue of their Members' Regular Saver on Tuesday 26th May, paying 3.50%.

The 12 Month Fixed Rate Members' Regular Saver (Issue 3) allows you to pay in between £10 - £200 per month and the account runs for 12 months. Unlimited withdrawals are permitted.

Like the previous issue, Saffron may allow non-members to open the account via a branch, though (at the time of writing this post, 22/05/2015) it has not been confirmed that they will allow this.

Existing members can open the account via branch or post.

Further details will appear on the Saffron BS website on Tuesday (26 May), see here.

Does that mean it's still possible to open the Issue 2 tomorrow morning?

I should think so, as Saffron are still advertising it on their website, here.

Anyone wanting to open issue 2 should ring their local branch tomorrow (Saturday) to check before travelling. I think they will allow it to be opened tomorrow (but that will be the last day for that issue, seeing as Monday is a Bank holiday).

Thanks. I won't be far from their area.

But if it's one of those that says you need an appointment, and people get wind of this change, maybe they'll be fully booked by the time I decide whether I can get there.

Are you an existing customer? If so, that could count in your favour as it would only take a short time to open an account. Why not give them a ring at 9am tomorrow when they open and ask if they can fit you in.

Hi Everybody,

I have updated the Clydesdale 2% account entry. I will add the Saffron BS account after it is launched next week.

I will do another update next weekend.

So in other words they are just cutting the rate from 4% to 3.5% from Tuesday for new accounts!

My regular saver with them is about to mature very shortly - you can only have one - and they have just shut my nearest branch in Stratford.

Still a good rate for a regular saver not linked to a current account - but a little annoying from my perspective at the timing.
