I've opened a NatWest 6.17% Regular Digital Saver, is there anything stopping me opening a RBS one too?

Nope, may as well have them both open as there's only a £150 max deposit a month limit so will take a long time to max each one out at £5000

Opened the new Principality, bit confused by them paying interest in January, shouldn't it be paid when the year is up? 🤔

Plenty of other building societies pay annually at the start or end of the calendar year. Mansfield, for one.

They'll also pay interest upon closure if any is due too.

I have previously read on here of people being able to max one out within a month using double round ups. I maxed out both of mine in around 7-8 months.

That's what I was wondering like will there be 2 lots of interest for the principality account?

It's 33 months if you do it the normal way. If you game the round-up system I think you can do 100 transactions each day, with £1.98 into the savings account each transaction. Good luck to you if you have the patience to do ~2500 transactions.

I don't understand the round up trick or whatever people call it, but generally speaking it's a £150 deposit a month per brand

Make a debit card transaction for an odd amount (eg. £1.01) and NatWest/RBS will round up the transaction to £2, and put the difference (99p) into a nominated savings account. They also offer a double round-up version, which allows £1.98 to be saved each transaction.

Seems like a faff especially as I don't use NatWest/RBS for everyday spending 🤣

If only we could deposit more in the "normal" way or just lump sum to max out quicker.

I'd be done by now if so.

Anyone got a history for the Digital Savers?, am I right it used to be £50 max &/or the rate might have been lower?.

I'm thinking I didn't deposit for a while because better savings came along.
