If it's like the TSB then it's also fixed term in the sense that you cannot open a new one until the term is up, even if you've withdrawn all the money.0

TSB, BoS, Lloyds and ClubLloyds RS all work like that. But curiously, Halifax is different. There seems to be no restriction on opening another if you've closed it early.0 -

For Halifax if you close it earlier. Do you still entitle to the interest until the date of closure ?

Thanks for reply. But it is not clear yet (it has not been spelt out) whether they will pay you interest up to the closing date.
"5. Can I withdraw money?
No.
No withdrawals are allowed unless you’re closing the account.
After 12 months any money you’ve saved (plus interest) transfers into your nominated account, if you have one. If you don’t, we’ll open one for you as part of this application."
I wonder if anyone has personal experience and/or get info directly from Halifax ? It is good to know this option just in case they launch a new regular saver with higher interest rate in the near future.0 -

Is there any mention of a penalty in the terms? No. So there is no penalty.0 -

They do say that they might apply a charge for accounts that are closed early. I posted the full text in an earlier post: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=73410187&postcount=66790 -
