They probably don't know where the applicant lives until they get the filled out application form.

The address they were asked to send the application pack to might give them a clue though.  🙄

Most of these packs are sent out automatically by computer generated info...

I'll let you think about it for longer; see if the penny drops.

I actually rang and spoke to a nice lady on the phone, who posted the pack to me, that's why I'm wondering whether it might be possible to get the account opened, if they're not that hot on it... Seems a lot of hassle though, if they just end up returning it all to me.

Only existing members (over 1 year if a non local) and locals (residents of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire) only though. Pays 1.2% on up to £250 a month.

So Ernie told them where he lived, and they posted the form to him there.
 
No pennies dropping after all then.  🙄

Clearly.

Hi Folks,

Here is this weekend's update to this thread.

- Mansfield BS Young Regular Saver (2nd issue) terms and conditions updated to show this account is for locals only

I have deliberately not been including their 150th Anniversary Regular Savings (5th issue) account as the 1.2% variable interest rate is below the threshold that I use for including accounts on this list.

I will do the next update next weekend.

Royston Vasey Building Society has just brought out a new savings account at 0% fixed for a year.
But there’s a catch....

Its only for local people.

Dressed up in drag.

Who would want a savings account for 0%? and fixed too,  Typo?

Club Lloyds and standard Lloyds monthly savers reduced to 1.5% and 1% respectively. Halifax regular saver also fallen to 1%.

There's now clear blue water between the First Direct, HSBC and M&S savers (still at 2.75%) and any others which are available online. Only a matter of time before they follow suit?
