    On the subject of Beehive. Maximum balance is 3500 on their Online Fixed Regular Saver. Interest added last July means that less than £250 can be deposited before reaching the 3500 limit. Worth bearing in mind in case they return the payment if it takes it over the max balance. Anyone had any experience with this before at Beehive? Do they count the interest in that figure please? Thanks

    Has anyone opened the 6 Month Regular Saver with Principality and not received a confirmation email from them?

    Funded OK though.
    I received mine in a couple of seconds after opening.
    Same here. Received almost instantly.
  • Hi

    My First Direct regular saver matured in May and I immediately opened a new one. The first payment was taken but I can't see that a standing order has been setup. I thought this was done by FD automatically. Am I missing something?
    Yes it should be set up automatically.  If you are using the app, tap "Move money", select the account, scroll down to "UK standing orders and direct debits" and it should be there.
    Cheers I can see it now I've opened my eyes what a dope.

    Thanks

    Just a minor point but we're now on issue 53 of the Leeds BS regular saver (matures 1/6/26), the list still shows issue 52.

    EDIT:
    The Progressive BS Online Regular Rainy Day Saver Account at 7% (variable) is also missing. This is available to existing Members and new customers resident in Northern Ireland and allows deposits of up to £300/calendar month.

    Principality BS 6 Month RS @ 8%
    Sorry if already discussed but just wanted to check my understanding of the Ts and Cs is correct.
    My account was opened yesterday, 20th June. I've put in £200 this week. I'll put in 5 x £200 at the start of the month July - November. That's £1200 in total. But then the account will stay open until it matures on 20th December (unless I choose to close it earlier). I.e. The total sum will be in there, earning 8%, for over a calendar month at the end before maturity? I don't think I've had a RS do that before.
    You have a fixed period, monthly allowance and maximum balance.  Every £200 you deposit will earn you 8% AER until 20th Dec. Nothing unusual about this.
