Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Thanks for info on Principality RS.

Struggling to put much into my savers right now but making sure I'll shoehorn the £200 into there.

No brainer!

So the Principality 6 Mth Saver says £200 per month. To maximise interest am I right in thinking £200 today and the the 1st of each month for the next 5 or is it the 20th of each month?

You can deposit now and then on 1st of the month.  Maximum balance permitted is £1,200 over the 6 month period.

Not worth getting overly excited about.
It pays out £27 in interest.

Which would be double what you'd get if you kept the money in an account paying ~4%
Not sure why people are on this board if they're not interested in accounts such as this

The discussion is closed too so I think it would be rather difficult to discuss regular savers (or indeed anything) in that particular thread anyway.

Or setup closer to the end of the month making the next payment on the 1st

Principality Building Society are launching a new '6 Month Regular Saver', paying 8.00%.

Pay in £1 - £200 per month.  The maximum investment is £1,200.

The account does not permit withdrawals before maturity, though earlier access is available by closing the account.

It is available to open online or via branch.  The account will mature after 6 months.  

Once launched, the account should appear on the Principality BS website, here.

(The application page for the account is at the following link here but it's probably best to wait for the account to officially launch first.  I will edit this post later in the morning to include the link to the account details page).   

Interesting, might give it a go in a month or so if it's still available.

Got like 3 regular savings accounts with them already 🤣, 2 @ £50 a month and their standard at £250 a month, plus accounts elsewhere, need to wait before starting anything new.

How did you find out about the new account?

 You could maximise your Principality interest by missing one or two £250 payments (this is allowed) to standard RS (@5.5% ?) and instead put £200 into 6 month RS@8% and if you haven`t got £200 to put in this month you probably would be ok waiting to beginning of next month before opening RS@8% and first deposit of £200 when you have the money.

I actually need to free up money to fund other regulars that pay higher, so my options are empty my bos 5.5%, close my Halifax 5.5%, close my Principality 5.5%, got about a month before I need to do something though.

If it is still available.  It it's very popular may not stay long but that is a chance one takes.
