Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

That's a rather poor loyalty regular saver from YBS compared to their offerings in the past few or indeed the 7% fixed which Skipton are offering.

Co-op Regular Saver has been launched at 7% as advertised:
https://www.co-operativebank.co.uk/products/savings/regular-saver/

• Have the account for a 12 month term – the 12 months will start from the date we accept your first deposit

This could be useful for some that want to delay the end date, as you have up to 30 days from account  opening to make your first deposit.

This is good to know, ideally I want to push the end date into the next tax year.

Hi

Just applied for the Coop regular saver and came across the dob mechanism again. Am I missing something? Is there a way to enter the dob manually in these online forms? It's like playing Daley Thompson's Decathlon all over again.

Cheers

Don't think there's a manual input available. Bit of random prodding finds a scrolling year picker that's quicker than pressing "back" 600 times on the current month.

I applied in Chrome, I was able to just type the date in?

True. But no account details yet, so can't pay in. Others eg YBS, LBG much quicker.

Hi with the Co-op saver, for those of us who don't yet have a Co-op current account can anyone advise how straightforward applying for the current account has been? and how time consuming? If it's a case of setting it up quickly and adding a couple of direct debits then this could help me be more positive about it - I wouldn't choose to switch from other current accounts where I also have the linked savers whose T&Cs say they need to stay open to keep said RS accounts. 

Also and apologies to anyone who reckons this is stating the obvious question, I can see a Santander current account where you have to pay £500 in a month to have access to a 7% RS account - which allows higher deposits each month than the Co-op one - there is a maintenance fee of £3 a month and cashback of 1%. - do people like the look of the Co-op one more because there's no fee?

thank you for reading my overthinking and any words of wisdom (possibly that I need to get out more?) would be much welcomed!

The Co-op switch offer has ended, but you can just open a current account to get this regular saver, you don't need to set up any direct debits.

The Santander Edge saver 7% account is not a regular saver account. You can put in any lump sum, but only get interest on the first £4,000. They do have a rather poor regular saver @ 5% and £200pm.
