Mansfield Regular e-Saver 30 day notice - what have people done with this account please? Now I can get better rates on the funds elsewhere and even with other accounts I have with Mansfield BS themselves, I'm considering closing it given the monthly funding requirement. Anyone closed theirs so far, or intentionally left theirs open for any particular reason please? Trying to make my mind up. Thanks

You can miss payments. The minimum £10 funding is only applicable if you make a payment i.e. if you pay, you must pay between £10 and £500 per month

Looks like Virgin are thinking about doing a regular saver soon, but might be limited to customers who opened a current account before a certain date 

Where did you get this information  please?

They sent a survey out for people to look over wording and display of the pages when they release it.

Thank you. I was thinking about switching away, but will hang on for now

Just as I’ve switched it away to Nationwide for the £200 switch bonus 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mine's been sat with a quid in it since it was needed to open a cash ISA last December.

You don't have to have a quid in them.  i have four of these sat empty for about 3 years now.  They used to pay 2% on £1k each, which was a good deal at the time.

Opened the 7.85% (sorry you cant call it 8% when it doesn't even last a year) 6 month Principality Regular Saver & funded, probably going to close my 5.5% Regular pretty much end of next month

A few months ago I switched to Ulster for £200 bonus and then a week or two later opened a current account with VM again to get access to market-leading ISA. I had an easy access saver with VM, though that came with the current account, so was an existing customer.
