My understanding is that it is not closing .. hence no replacement.

steve65e might know different.

Sorry, no. I was just reporting what I had been told in branch.

I thought the same about the letter - nice touch. But I'll be keeping my Issue 3 until the 2.3% rate ends. I can't see anywhere offering more (that I don't aleady have open), especially considering I've maxed out all the current accounts.

I'm currently away so haven't read my letter yet.

From what i've read here the Issue 3 rate will drop to 2.3% in Feb and no new deposits will be allowed, then Oct/Nov it will revert to an 'online saver' type of account paying minuscule interest?

What is happening therefore with the Issue 4?

Issue 4 is unchanged (for now). Bonus restrictions still apply and deposits are allowed.

An update to the post from steve65e.

SportsAid .. this will be pulled on 28-12-2016.

RegSaver(2) .. The branch has no info on a replacement.

NEW: Tigers Regular Saver @ 2.5% available from 04-01-2017 and runs till June 2018.

Opened the Tigers 2.5 today.

https://www.thenottingham.com/savings/products/copy-of-sportsaid-regular-saver/

Understand the 2% Reg Saver 2 closes for new applicants on the 4th January and a new Regular saver 3 will be available on the 5th.

Don't know what happens to existing Reg Saver 2 holders or what the % on Reg Saver 3 is yet.

What is the new monthly pay-in max for the Nottingham BS Savvy Saver Follow-On a/c? I'm away from home (where my maturity letter is) and won't return until Jan. Nothing at all on their website, even under the 'Full range of savings products' tab!

I was sceptical of S_S2's 4th Jan starting date because that would make the total max pay-in £250 short of the account max.

Concerning the Virgin Money "Branch" Regular saver - after opening the account in branch with a cheque, can you fund the next 11 payments with an online standing order. I don`t want to have to go into the branch once a month. I already have the "e" version.

Yes a STO is the answer. I have already set mine up from another bank.

Nope, nope, nope!!!

I'm absolutely STRUGGLING thinking what to do with my money. I have just over 100k. 1/3 is in a S&S ISA despite this meant to be for a house deposit / emigration fund (so... risky!) but there's nowhere else I can think of putting it.

The other 2/3 is sitting in bank accounts. The one generating interest is Santander 123.. I have one, and another joint. All full.
Halifax is now not paying any interest as I need multiple direct debits, I think. TSB Enhance is dropping.

And I've "so much" cash that Regular savers are worth nothing to me. 5% on £2500? That's one month taken up... what do I do about the other 11??

What on Earth do I do.. I've been getting no interest for about half a year.


--> If I can set up 2 direct debits for each of my BoS accounts, that will at least take care of £15k. Ideas!? I already pay to some charities.

Hi Everybody,

Happy New Year to all of you! Here is this weekend's update.

I have removed the Nottingham BS SportAid account and added their Tigers account to post 3, paying 2.5% on up to £250 per month until 30th June 2018 (max £4,570) with no withdrawals until then. I have also put a note by their Regular Saver Issue 2 account to mark that we expect this account to be removed on 4th January. I will update this further next weekend.

For the post above from guitarman001, this is the wrong thread for your post. I would suggest you start a new thread of your own.

I will do another update next weekend.
