West Brom regular saver does a Web saver account allow you to apply

Yes, it should do.  It worked for me!

It's just the box where you enter the account number is for 9 figures
Whereas Web saver has 3 letters and 7 numbers followed by another 3 letters

Put a 0 as the first number followed by the other 7 numbers and ignore any letters

That worked for me. 

Thanks to the advice in this thread, the process of opening the West Brom WebSave account and the regular saver was very smooth.

Aldermore - https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/saving/article-12939237/The-perfect-way-start-savings-habit-New-regular-saver-comes-5-25-rate.html

There's the Daily Mail with it's finger firmly on the pulse of breaking financial news....

This week, Aldermore Bank has launched a regular saver which pays 5.25 per cent

That Aldermore account has been available for two months. Plus the usual guff about Regular Savers not really paying the quoted rate.

Coventry Loyalty Regular Saver (7.00%)

I just received a letter sent by snail mail from Coventry saying that they have returned the money:

"We've recently received a payment for your account numbered above. As this additional money would have meant
that you've exceeded the maximum amount you're allowed to pay in, we've returned the funds tot he bank or building society who sent the payment to us."

I checked my Coventry online AC, i do not see any payment this January 2024. But I checked the "Summary"

• Each month you can pay in as many times as you like, up to a maximum of £250. If you have a joint account the maximum is still £250. Your deposit month starts on the day you opened the account. For example, if you opened the account on 15 December you’d have from 15 December to 14 January to pay in your first month’s allowance. Your second month would start on 15 January 

So just be aware for this account, the month is not based on calender month but based on anniversary month of the account opening. So if you set up the SO on the first day of each month you might get your money returned to you. Also if you might need to amend the date of your SO.

Any news when the Yorkshire BS Christmas 2024 Regular Saver will be launched? It was mentioned earlier that YBS would be repeating the 2023 Xmas RS but I haven't heard anything.

Does Christmas come earlier this year ?? My calender is still showing January 10, 2024 ??

I am sure I read this month a few pages back. The 2023 version wasn’t launched until late January, so I would expect to wait another few weeks yet.

I've opened mine on the 18th Jan last year, so if they follow the pattern we might see the offering being launched as early as next week.  In any case, I hope it will be 6% or above.

Don't bother looking on their website just at the moment it doesn't seem to exist. Not a good look YBS.
