Yorkshire BS Xmas Saver @6% - If you cannot get a better return elsewhere then go for it and ignore the negative posts. One withdrawal allowed, therefore if they drop the rate you can empty it. Easy to set up if you have an online account although you can`t apply directly on their App - they direct you online. Beware new Yorkshire BS customers - you will have to send ID documents. Unusual in that it is a 10 month account with maturity 31/10/24. After initial FP deposit set up 9 SO`s from 1/2/24 to 1/10/24.

However, it could be useful for starting a relationship with YBS if you don't already have one as they are one of the most prolific societies to offer loyalty accounts.Stargunner said:

£150 a month until 31/10/2024, return of 6% gross/AER
This is a short term RS with a low max monthly deposit so good for those with limited funds to save.
Also the £5 is at the current rate gap. As we all know rates are on the downward spiral, that gap may well widen in the next few months. I suspect EA rates will fall sharper than RS rates.5 -

You can use the MSE Regular Saver calculator. It works out an almost exact figure for you, though it is something between £5 and £6, assuming your remaining 9 deposits will be on the 1st of every calendar month

Think I'll pass on this one, running out of available cash plus need to top up my ISA allowance as much as possible.
Already putting (or trying to) put £500 p/m in YBS Loyalty one so its no hardship.0 -
There will be other competitive easy access accounts that you can put your money in, so it is an accurate comparison.simonsmithsays said:
