    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

    Link in earlier post?

    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.

    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.

    Well if it's not members month yet I imagine you'll have to wait until it is & the product has been launched like everyone else and apply for it on website/in branch🙄😏

    I guess you can call up/go in branch and give them instruction to take £50 out of an existing account (eg the current members month @ 9% which hasn't even ended yet & you'll still probably want to give them instruction as what to do with the remaining money if so, unless happy going into a 2% maturity) for when the time comes.

    No need to cancel but as they are taking the first £50 out of previous RS, I will have to change SO to July and not leave it to pay out in June.
