    Yes a bit out of order me thinks
    He has said sorry, no need to nail him to the cross.

    Edit - I did say "He" hope i got your pronoun correct!

    Yes and please note I did 'thank' the person when they said sorry. So no nailing to the cross.


    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    Re Coventry BS - Looks like my Coventry first home saver 5.9% (1st addition opened Dec 2022) is not classed as a savings account because i get this -





    And no, i won't ring them...lol.
    Just thought I missed a rate increase as you state 5.9% but my account shows 5.6% gross. just in case somebody else gets confused.

    AIB (NI) now offering 6% on their Regular Saver, depositing up to £500 each month. 
    Eligibility and full details above. 
    It's a good account though from what I can see you can only apply online if you're an existing AIB customer, if you're not you'd need to apply in branch.

    I notice their credit cards allow applications by post/phone so possibly a back-door route to opening?
    I called them and was told that there is no back-door route.

    Profound apologies, i am showing 5.6%. While I'm here can anyone tell me regarding the annual interest, was their an option to have the interest added to to account? as i have chosen interest to be paid out to my nominated account.

    Edit...again. This is reference to The Coventry FHS.

    Just checked my account, it's set up to pay interest back to itself.

    Thanks, yeah, think i made a mistake on this. Every account i seem to open i always prefer and choose with out thinking too much about it is to have interest paid out.

    Before I open and commit to my first regular saver account, are there any better rates  for a fixed regular  Saver than 8%?
    As is a variable rate, how long do you expect this competitive 8% to last?
      
    The MSE size says that it is variable for one year, does that mean it will be fixed after one year? If so, what rates?

    I want to save £600-700 per month In a regular saver account  But it seems that 250 is The maximum monthly allowance for a regular saver account 
    Do any any other banks, allow more for a regular favour?
