Select the 2nd Regular Saver from the drop-down menu to see the upcoming change.

A couple of days on I wonder if anyone has received a letter or other notification of this.

Have you tried going for their standard current account? They may be less picky for that and it would get you a 4% Regular Saver.

Yeah I already have that but I'm not sure whether, if I open a 4% one now, I can upgrade it to a 6% one mid-way through the year.

Existing account holders will not have their rate reduced post 18th July.

You cant upgrade the RS mid term (you could upgrade the current account) and you can only have on RS anyway - it is 4% or 6%, not both - in the same name.

To the OP

Leeds BS Regular Saver (Issue 3) - this is now also available for opening online as well as post/branch. Online tries to do an electronic verification, which can save the hassle of getting proof of ID copy certified. You have to print/receive in post the application form after and send it with the initial payment cheque (with the proof of ID/address if failing electronic verification).

The account is available to view via their online login as well, but no ability to transfer out money online.

Correct.

It's looking clearer now. Regular Saver (3.1%) and Sports Saver (4%) are now closed to new applicants.

It looks like there is going to be a new Reg Saver but only at 2% with a limit of £4k. It's on the rates page but not the products page. (Presumably because it launches on Monday?)

Careful_ly

Nottingham building society also have another regular saver available from the 18.7.16

Go for Gold paying 3% upto £4000 so guessing £250 x 16 months

Here you go.

More flexible than their 3% one they are about to launch - there is no mention of the £4k limit for the 2% on the link (but this 4k limit ref is still apparent on the Interest rate drop down).

Again branch only:

If you scroll down it does say £10 - £4k but that doesn't seem right because otherwise its the same as the old regsaver. Might be a mistake.

The last few Nottingham Reg Savers have all been branch only, but that only means you have to go to a branch to open one or part withdraw. You can always pay in by SO/FP and they are happy to close them by post.
