I already have 2 x Principality Reg savers, but I will pass on this one, as due to the low deposit limits I cant see the point in opening one to earn £3 more in a year than just keeping the money in a 5.0% ea account.

Opened it last night when @Bridlington1 guessed the link but I now see that interest is paid on 1st Jan and is flexible. Was opening it so I can get interest paid next financial year as I was hoping it is paid annually on date of opening. Already maxed out PSA for this year so I am better off with an ISA. Will leave the account unfunded for them to close it automatically.

Three penalty withdrawals including early closure make it a no brainer to add to my RS list for me.

And I've currently got 5.2% and 5.1% EA accounts.

It extends my relationship with Principality too should anything good come along.

The question is for how long will we still be getting 5% in those EA accounts?

Even if only for a few months, and even if BoE were inclined to make four reductions to 4.25% over the period of this account, the loss by not opening it would me minimal. A decent deposit limit would have persuaded me differently.

"If your account reaches £600.00, you cannot pay anymore money in."

Not sure how Principality would treat the month 12 contribution, which together with the expected interest payment on 01 January could take the account balance above £600.

It wouldn't go above £600 at the time you'd be making the 12th payment, even with the added interest.

Thanks Kazza242 and Bridlington1 for link to new Principality RS @ 6%. If you are already a Principality customer, it is very quick and easy to open. You can only make 12 payments of £50 - so no 13th payment possible. Deposit £50 today to name - Principality Building Society, Business account, sort code 20-18-23 account number (Removed by Forum Team) with your new RS account number as reference. You will get confirmation of payee come up. Then set up 11 standing orders for £50 starting 1/5/24 and ending 3/3/25 (1/3/25 is a Saturday).

I had a moan to that effect on their feedback pop up - but the section that states what the balance could be after 12 months as £619.50 implies that you could. I guess if you paid £40 in in month 12 you maybe wouldn’t then be able to add another £10 as the balance would already be over £600 before the payment arrived with them.

Hopefully they update the page to clarify.
