Issue 4 is listed as a variable rate account here: http://www.leedsbuildingsociety.co.uk/_resources/pdfs/savings-pdfs/closed-account-pdfs/closed-rates.pdf

Finally received Leeds reply. I think she meant 0.50%, not 0.75%!

Hi Specky, thanks for your question. Issue 4 will get an increase. The underlying rate will be increasing from 0.25% to 0.75%. The bonus rate is unaffected. I hope this helps.

Rather 0.50%, not 0.25%! :cool:

I thought I had already posted this but can’t see it.
The principality building society have launched a 4% regular saver today.
There are conditions attached unfortunately but I thought it might be useful to some

I didn't realise that you were on such intimate terms with the Leeds that they would call you Specky. :rotfl:

If speculator wears spectacles I think that qualifies as an -ism.

Principality BS has just issued a new RS paying fixed 4.00% p.a., one year term, max £250 per month. Too bad it's "Only available to Members who’ve been with us for two years or more": I only became a member of this BS a few days ago!

JamesRobinson48 appears to have made first mention (at least on this thread). Received my passbook yesterday.

Yorkshire BS add BoE base rate rise to variable rate accounts from Dec 14th...
So their Monthly Regular Saver will go to 2.00% pa, £500 PM for 2 years, 1w/d per annum - not a great rate, I know, but good(ish) in a years time - you can get £6.5k at 2% if no changes.

Already discussed from post #6645

Also, N&P (part of YBS) have an identical account. so you can have one of each.

Open it quick before the N&P brand disappears.

edit: appears the N&P account must be opened at any Norwich & Peterborough branch

Assuming you’ve not made any withdrawals, anything in the T&Cs stopping you from closing a fixed rate RS and opening a new higher variable rate issue 9 straight away ?

Royal Mail and Principality have won my award for speed and efficiency on this one.


Posted my application on a Thursday afternoon with a second class stamp, received the passbook back on the Saturday, that's a rapid turnaround.
