    SS2, on your list of accounts I notice you mention there has been discussion about 13 payments being possible into the Lloyds RS.

    I would have thought this is possible for all RS that operate on a calendar month basis? I have checked TSB's RS T&Cs and it appears you can deposit by standing order once a month. By changing the date of the standing order you can squeeze in 13 payments.

    What are you views on this please?

    Perhaps a silly question, but what period of interest would you receive on that payment (payment 13)
    Free thinker.:cool:

    Interest gets calculated on the balance of the account at the end of each day.

    Quick question regarding the Nationwide Flex Regular Saver;

    Is it okay to skip a month? i.e. pay nothing into the account for a month...

    Do the T&Cs say you must make a deposit every month?

    Nottingham Building Society have launched a new regular savings account, called Sports Saver, paying 4.00% until 30 September 2017.

    You can pay in between £1 - £250 per month and save a maximum of £4,500 whilst the account remains open (opening deposit minimum of £10).

    You can also make more than one payment in a month if you want to, but you must not pay in more than £250 in one calendar month.

    You have to open it in branch.

    The account also matures on 30 September 2017.

    No withdrawals allowed unless special circumstances.

    Please see here for further information.
    Please call me 'Kazza'.

    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?

    Nationwide do the Flexclusive 5% reg saver if you have a current account with them..


    They also do a 2% reg saver open to all. Anyone know if you allowed to have both? Or just one.

    Do the T&Cs of either of the accounts say you can't have them both?
