    and keeping the google calendar updated is another admin task it brings - maturity dates, interest payment dates, dates of any accounts that don't get funded on the 1st of the month ...

    And if you're retired it keeps you off the streets mugging old ladies :)

    You can do it via personal message online, just did, instantaneous.

    Interesting how they're still giving different advice; when I tried doing it via secure message, I received a reply to say it couldn't be done via messaging and to ring them instead.

    NBS have over the past few years offered market leading Regular Savers two or three times a year. This is also great news for existing members that may have had to travel a little too.

    Also great these former N&P branches are being recycled.

    Took me ages to figure out that they are not offering a new, exciting regular saver :(

    Really?

    It took less than four mins for you read, absorb and then reply. :)

    I thought this info would be useful for those current NBS customers and those non NBS RS fanatics who'll be better positioned - but that this info didnt warrant a separate thread.

    Edit - PS the 1.5% R.S.at up to £500p.m. (already on the first page of this thread) may be more 'interesting' to some with this branch news.

    I do not think 1.5% regular saver is a market leading where there are stil reasonable number of current acount paying 2% interest.

    And if people have filled those?

    Is it market leading then?

    I think it will depend on the interpretation of the market leading.
    If a person has maxed out of the current accounts, RSAs, saving account paying 1%+ (say). Could it be said that RSA paying 1% interest is a market leading??

    Not sure why you've now changed the interest rate to 1%.

    There are plenty of MSEs who've filled everything over 1.5 and are down and past using Santander 123 (equiv to less than 1.25% when you consider the monthly fee) up to 20k and hence have jumped into Ulster banks 1.25%.

    Hence the 1.5% RS esp one at 500pm with withdrawals allowed is very welcome to those and hence why its listed on the first page of this thread.

    Good to see, it seems around here Building Societies are closing branches rather than opening them (I know they are recycling old N&P Branches, but still!)
