    Some useful info about their RS. I've just completed the 12 months, how time flies! They will be sending letters in advance of the maturity. As I'm a long way out of their area I can ask them in advance to open a new RS when this matures and they will take the first £200 out of the maturity balance. I can also provide them with a request to FP the rest of the matured funds.

    Seems perfect to me!

    Am on about my sixth annual RS with them. Always tremendous service.

    As you are already a long term member you can just write to them enclosing a completed savings application form for a new regular saver and ask that first £200 be moved from your maturing regular saver.

    Also it may be worth opening their esaver online account - you can view your balances online for all your Saffron accounts including your regular saver. Saves calling them or going to a branch
  • Hi

    Here is a form that you can print off for the maturity of Saffron regular saver and open a new one.

    Thanks for this. I can see how to close the old one. Can you explain how to open a new one with this form?

    It's not a problem!

    The Member Only Regular Saver Bond is a separate product to the Regular Saver Bond and there's nothing in the T&C documents to exclude holders of other Principality regular saver accounts. I already have the Regular Saver Bond and my application for a Member Only Regular Saver Bond was accepted and opened today.

    So what is the account called that members with less than 2 years can open?

    Started an application, however the conditions are:
    You do not already have a Regular eSaver
    I could not proceed with my application, as I already have Issue 5.

    Can I apply if I already have the 5% reg saver?

    Thanks

    Could you first thin down your list by telling us which of those are variable rates and which are fixed rates. ;)
