Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

fun4everyone

And thanks for the list/all your hard work Bridlington1.  I agree dealing with the tax situation on this amount of regular savers is a pain. I don't always do a tax return, but when I do it includes approx 200 interest certificates.

RE: Saffron Building Society The Members’ Month Loyalty Saver

Anybody else find that their deposits from yesterday for this account is being marked as received today? I did a faster payments from my Halifax Current Account direct to my Saffron account at 4:30am yesterday (01/04/2024) and it’s being marked as being deposited on 02/04/2024. Didn’t have this problem in January.

Maybe due to yesterday being a Bank Holiday?

Thank you Bridlington1 for all your efforts in producing the RS list, that was very helpful.

I had forgotten that my wife and I had an old TSB account so we were eligible for their regular saver. I tried to fund the new TSB accounts this morning from our Lloyds account but it did not work. I did read that they wanted it funded by standing order, but then most say that and you don't need too. Anyway set up the standing orders from tomorrow so see if that works. Thanks again.

Thanks Bridlington 1

I had a returned standing order for £1 today, and as it just showed my name I was having difficulty tracing which regular saver it was for.

Turns out it was TSB, and thanks to your list I was able to realise that the minimum amount was £25.

TSB have this peculiar set-up where you cannot transfer directly from the TSB current account to the regular saver.

You can, however, send a faster payment from the TSB current account by adding a new payee, checked by COP of course.

Ms Descrabled sends her £250 by faster payment from her Lloyds current account.

Thanks, the official line is it should be in by the end of business today.  I did expect it in already like you experienced and like all my other rsavers.  I must at least wait until tomorrow though.  Appreciate the reply.

You can make a regular deposit by SO from your TSB current ac, tho'.

Hi all, thank you for the various responses regarding the BOS Monthly Saver renewal. Interesting/disappointing to hear others have had the same issue.

If I simply close the account, with the aim of being paid the accrued interest now (if that's possible), will I be barred from opening a new one until the account opening anniversary date?

Re: Gatehouse

The Faster Payment I sent Gatehouse yesterday morning was acknowledged by text at 14:06 the same day and credited dated 1st April. They normally acknowledge via text at 13:0-something so suggests their systems hadn't cottoned on to the time change over the weekend.
