    The Hanley web site now shows that the Home Deposit Saver can now only be opened in branch.


    I opened mine by post in March.

    Can anyone please confirm whether the Leeds BS RS issue 3 can be opened late in the month and then S/O changed to 1st in month. Cheers.

    Yes, no requirement to fund via SO, I pay mine by cheque in the post.

    Only requirements is to pay into the account monthly minimum of £50 including operating balance, maximum £250 a month.

    My pigeon has only approx 70 miles to fly, assuming he uses the same route as his crow buddies;)

    He must have stopped for some R&R en route:o
    Mine landed this morning. All good.

    It can but what benefit do you get from doing this as it's not a fixed term account?

    Almost one months extra interest on just £250, I'd say! So it's a very small benefit.

    Hi All,

    I wonder if someone could help me?

    I'm considering opening a TSB Monthly Saver but will have a variable amount to put in each month. I can't see anything in the T&Cs, and I know it goes against the idea of a regular savings a/c, but if I was prepared to change the amount of the SO each month manually, would this still qualify for the interest? All I can see that it says is that the money must be transferred by SO.

    Would be really grateful for any help - it's so difficult trying to juggle all the requirements of the different accounts to maximise the interest!

    Yes you can change the amount so long as it is between £25 and £250 per month.
