    I know it's not the topic of the thread but this seems to be the only place discussing it - where do I find the Skipton FA Saver? I can't see it on app or web.

    Got my maturity email from Saffron today.

    This is for my Members Month paying @ 9%

    I'm guessing in app maturity section in app will follow soon.
    I don't use apps but found it very simple to send a secure message a few days ago when logged on to the online account, and give instructions there. Reply came back within hours saying it will be followed.
    Yea you can always message them in app/website I don't find them that quick to action things though but they do eventually, usually within 2 or so days not hours.

    The in app dedicated maturity section should open up soon following the email

    Just spoken to Saffron regarding my regular saver and maturity, was told as of today they have a new one you can now open with the same T&C's as before, £50 per month but the interest rate is now 8%
    Interesting because I'm sure June is Members Month & we still in May.

    Nothing on website about that new account either.

    I'm guessing someone told you slightly wrong information as in you can't apply for it now but also leaked future information, so the information for the new account will be £50 a month @ 8% and that should launch in June when the current 9% one ends give or take a few days

    My mistake, it starts in June @ 8%. CS said they would take £50 out of my old regular saver and set it up for me with the same account number.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    This 'same account number' is what a handful of RS institutions have been great with in the past and I referred to previously on this thread.

    Meaning no need to cancel standing orders for maturing accounts.

    Wondering how to go about this now. As it hasn’t really been announced yet, bar the sentence in the maturity pack, I wouldn’t be surprised if responses to requests to do this varied depending on the CS agent.

    Checking on their website earlier I found a message that they are closed for staff training tomorrow.
