Special_Saver2

Hi Everybody,

I have completed this weekend's update for the first page of this thread.

- Nottingham BS Regular Saver Issue 2 (post 2) text updated with information from posts above from Andystriker and Ed-1 that the account balance limit of £4,000 on the website is incorrect (there is no limit)
- Penrith BS 200 account interest rate info added as per post above from karlie88

I will do another update next weekend.

Cambridge Building Society have updated their website to state that their Regular Saver can only be opened in branch and by post now.

You can still open this by post – so it remains available nationally for now.

Not exactly a regular saver but Mansfield BS are reducing the rate on their regular saver 1st issue legacy account from 3.1% to 2.25% on 22 August. They stopped people paying into the issue 1 account a couple of years ago but allowed people to keep their accumulated balances via an instant access account paying 3.1%. That rate is now being cut to 2.25%. Nice while it lasted – unlike some societies that close these accounts entirely.

They still have a regular saver issue 4 paying 2.5% (including a 1% bonus for the first 12 months) for locals (residents of Notts/Derbsyshire and South Yorkshire) and existing members.

Santander website now shows the regular esaver as THREE percent (was 5%). Not seen mentioned anywhere else... (yet !)

I'm not sure I could be bothered to go through that painful application process for 3%!

Although the Santander website shows the rate as variable, they are marketing the 3% account as issue 2. So presumably those with issue 1 will remain at 5%, at least for the moment, and hopefully for the whole of their first 12 months.

Which raises the interesting question as to whether you can have one Issue 1 and one Issue 2 at the same time?
