Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

The Chorley BS monthly bond was removed from the market yesterday, I know because I just had my phone call as they received my application today, they've honoured those received today.

You really have to strike while the iron's hot with these regular savers.

I would strike while the iron's hot, if I could get on Nationwide site:(
It does say the on-line service is intermittent, logged on o.k. but then couldn't get into my accounts although I could see them.
Typical!

Its slow but just about possible - it does say to go via the app but that's not much quicker ...

I haven't been on here for a couple of weeks, completely missed the Ford Money Regular Saver, ah well never mind, would have to have been quick off the mark for it anyway.

For those with Saffron BS Regular Saver accounts, can you see them online? I previously had requested view access and it was on there, but I can no longer see it?

I can see mine!

Is yours about to mature soon? If so, it may be that that's causing it to be invisible.

I didnt realise you could view Saffron accounts on line if they weren't ones you could open online?

Can I register to have online view access if all I have is the regular saver?

I have been a member for years when it was Saffron Walden Herts and Essex BS - although its a bit of a trek to Brentwood now since their Stratford branch shut.

Their policy when I checked earlier this year was that you cannot get online access (not even view only) to the branch-based accounts like the RS unless you also have an online account.

The e-saver account is possibly the easiest one to use, but has a minimum balance requirement of £10. There is a manual process to be followed to add branch accounts in view-only mode onto your online banking. This is subject to the occasional hiccup as mentioned above.

It was possible to arrange a transfer from the e-saver into the RS account, but mine took longer to process than an external payment coming in. Saffron don't mind you having an e-saver just to obtain online access, it was one of their CSA's who told me it was the best way. And they seemed to know what they were talking about.

Yes you can. All you need to do is to open an online account eSaver. You could then see all of your accounts including the branch base ac. For the branch account you will not be able to do an online transaction but it is handy if you want to check your balance.
