    Virgin Money has just released a new Regular E-Saver (18th issue).  This pays 1.00% fixed, and looks much the same as the 17th issue, other than dates being pushed back two months.
    Has anyone been tempted by these 1% offerings?
    Yep, as back up only with minimal £1 monthly deposits for if/when other accounts held elsewhere start to drop below 1%. Will probably take another 2 Al Rayan reductions before they go below 1% so until then....

    Monmouthshire BS has just launched Regular Saver Bond Issue 4, paying 1.50% fixed for one year (max £250 per month, £3,000 total, available online).
    Thanks, opened!
    Only opened the £1000pm Saver Plus Issue 3 yesterday at 1.2%, just in time, as it now looks to have been withdrawn.

    Thanks, opened!
    Have you received an email reply from them?  I made an application for the Monmouth RS & it said that they would be in touch, however I've not received anything by email yet...

    How long did it take to show in your account?  Wish you could apply while logged into account

    Interesting to see somebody buck the trend and issue rates above the rest, hopefully others will take note and do likewise!! Thanks for heads up, application away.

    Likewise, I searched everywhere when logged in thinking surely I can apply through here!!

    Checked with them earlier and they told me it won't show until I have sent back the signature specimen form, however deposits only can still be made.

    But did you only become a member yesterday when opened issue 3??

    AFAIK, MON BS do NOT send out e-mail confirmations, only the posted paperwork will confirm the account and then they'll need you to send back a signature specimen...see my post above.
  • I have sent them a secure message to enquire about needing checks as I have two open accounts already with them no need for checks
