Are you joking ?....£250 @ 5% = 3.5 pence a day x 12. = 42 pence a year.

Multiplied by each account I would have to do that for. Some accounts require you to log in every month, so might as well do that at the same time as moving money. Plus gives an opportunity to check the account and that all is in order 

So you weren't joking........
I've got over 20 regular savers running and none of them require me to log in every month.
My process (open account, set up S/O, forget about it until maturity) is usually quick, easy, requires no on going maintenance and allows me to continue to achieve my goal of growing old disgracefully.

NatWest and RBS apps both require me to log in once a month for the Rewards. The Co-Op funnily enough is also one of the accounts I need to log in once a month for the rewards. I think Halifax is another one. Plus there's others which I cannot remember off the top of my head.
So a couple of seconds once a month to transfer the money to the Regular Saver is no hardship

I don't understand why you have a problem. Did you not set up a S/O when you opened the regular saver account ?

I don't believe I said I had a problem. In fact I said I was sure it would all sort itself out in the next few days.

I did set up a standing order for a token monthly amount when opening the account, which is my usual modus operandi depending on the circumstances. I then decide each month whether or not to top that amount up within the limits applicable to the account. No doubt the first payment and account details will appear in the app and online within the next few days.

And the current account requires £800pm funding. So the payment will be taken from this £800 coming in, as I have to log anyway in to send the surplus to the next account which requires monthly funding 

Only required for “Everyday Rewards”. 

Indeed. That's what I've got.

Many people will have an Everyday current account without ''Rewards''. Therefore, no £800 per month funding required. You had me worried for a minute, because I haven't been paying in £800 pm.

Hi Everybody,

I have just updated the first page of this thread.

- Leeds BS Regular Saver (Issue 49) updated with the same details as issue 48 except for a maturity date of 1st February 2026 with issue 49

- West Brom BS Fixed Rate Regular Saver (Issue 7) entry updated to show that it can now be opened online if you are an existing customer or live in one of their branch postcode areas (B, DY, WV, WS and SY)

- Yorkshire BS Christmas Regular Saver 2024 and Regular eSaver 2024 entry removed as accounts no longer available

- Kent Reliance Regular Savings Account (Issue 12) updated from issue 11 paying slightly more (5.1% instead of 5% with issue 10), otherwise same details as before including still branch only for opening and operating the account

- Yorkshire BS Loyalty Regular e-Saver Account added paying 5.75% on up to £250 per month for 12 months for existing customers (for at least 12 months) and there is a branch based equivalent too

- Co-operative Bank Regular Saver paying 7% gross p.a. variable on up to £250 per month for 12 months but you must have a Co-operative Bank current account. To keep the account open, you must pay in at least £1 within 30 days of it being opened. The 12 month term will start from the date they accept your first deposit.

I will do the next update within the next 2 weeks.

And many people will have an Everyday currently account with Rewards

Hi, thank you for the meticulous work that must help so many. I have applied for the Staffordshire Building Society saver account at the top of the list and it now says the maximum deposit is £500 rather than £1,000 when you go to the actual application as opposed to the general website information. The website has been updated to £25 as opposed to £20 for minimum deposit.

I'm an existing customer with one of these and have set the SO at £1k for a while, I haven't been told of any changes to t&c's so we'll see what happens a week tomorrow...

(Stafford Railway BS though)

It’ll be odd if they have indeed reduced it, they only raised it from £500 to £1k in… August? And they allowed a one off payment of up to 12K with repeated promotion of that opportunity.

I suspect that's a reference which was simply missed when the maximum pay in was increased. Every other reference I can find still says £1000.

happybagger

I agree. But I think the minimum is as stated on the SRBS website, ie £25, and the £20 quoted by @Special_Saver2 on the first page is an error
