Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

qsk

Just be warned that the generic 07-00-93 33333334 does not always work for flex reg saver account. When I set up the account a few months back, I tried both fastpay and SO (from various banks) to this but always got bounced. After having several nonsense responses from their CS, I escalated it to a complaint and the complaint department involved their tech team and apologized that there was an error in system and worked out a fix. My payment then went through using the same details. Not sure if the fix works for all accounts.


You should try with a small amount before settling in.

Yes, it always works from NW accounts. CS did ask me why not just set up a SO from my Flexdirect - I did not want to say that my Flexdirect will be closed/downgraded when 5% finishes...

This is in their Flexclusive Regular Saver - Manage your account FAQs

You can also transfer money online from an existing Nationwide or another current account by setting up either regular or one-off payments into your Flexclusive Regular Saver account.

How to receive a regular payment

To receive a regular payment into your Nationwide account you will need to give the payee your account details, the table below could help with this.

Account type Sort codes Account number

I could not find that bit in the Q&A, in this link,

http://www.nationwide.co.uk/support/support-articles/faqs/flexclusive-regular-saver-faqs#xtab:how-can-i-add-money

No Sort codes, No Account number. When did you access it ??

I called them two days ago the account number they gave me is

07-00-93 33333334 with the Rolling number including the slash as the reference.

the sane with what I mentioned above. Other people also mentioned that this account could work for some people and not to other people.

It depends on where/how you open the account. If you do it in branch or fill in the application form online you get a card with a normal account number.

If you open it via mobile/internet banking you don't and have to use 33333334 and a reference number.

A heads up on yet another offer from the Nottingham Building Society ...

They are offering a 3% reg saver ISA (Starter ISA Issue 6) into which you can pay up to £1270 a month. The implication is that the rate is only until the end of this tax year, but its not explicit about that.

I went into a branch today to try to open one but I have to go through an appointment (i.e. sales pitch for cross selling) next week before I can open it.

Only 3% but being a cash ISA it could be very useful for anyone exceeding their PSA.

Interesting.

I've opened accounts with them over the years including their sports saver recently and haven't really experienced cross selling issues.

I'm just going on what said would be covered at the appointment. She specifically mentioned house insurance. This may just be because I'll be a new customer to them though. If you're already one then you may be able to open it immediately.

Possibly but wouldn't have thought so.

I had to book an appointment for my last account about a month ago, though they managed to get me in in the same day due to a cancellation.

They'll probably just ask you to fill out some questions or do a for, with things like insurance and other financial products. You can decline if you want, but it's the same as opening online, when you are asked about your other habits and financial needs and requirements.

Interestingly the guy at the last appointment didn't try to sell anything but was new to them; he'd been laid off from a payday lending firm and when I suggested that must have been depressing he said not really, many of their clients were if the bmw, executive housing type, higher rate taxpayers who were just disorganised and paid the price for their lifestyle.
