Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Bridlington1

Not a top rate but possibly one to keep an eye on:
Suffolk BS have now launched an Online 1 Year Variable Rate Regular Saver (30.09.2025) at 5.15% (£500/mth max).

This could be a good one to use for ``getting a foot in the door" so to speak as most of their other accounts have been limited to existing members and those living in certain postcodes.

Hmm my beehive RS matured today, I have to either leave £10 to keep it open or close the account to get all the cash. Any recommendation? Are people keeping it in case a good existing deal comes out?

I've left the £10 in as it seemed to be the quickest option. Can always close it later.

Same….have left £10 in there to keep my options open. Just waiting for the rest of the cash to finally land now in my Bank.

Hi Bridlington, I am new to all this savings lark but there was a thread either early this year or late last year, about how many savings Accounts everybody had, at the time I only had 2,  I think,  and thanks to you and Soulsaver and a few  others on here I now have 22.

As you say, it is good to get your foot in the door, to be a qualifying member for any good future accounts they launch.  

I have been  on this site for around 15 years, and only due to flogging my house in October 22, I started looking into savings when I was between properties.

So thanks again all. Cheers.
 
Edit.  Oh and by the way, I did open and fund Suffolk within 30 mins of your post, cheers.

I'm sure the conditions say you have to pay a minimum of £10 into the account every month.

Nationwide Flex RS2 NLA

There is the ability to add a 13th payment but at 8% on £200 for just shy of a month only gains an additional £1 in interest over that gained by 12 payments. I don't normally bother.

Of course that's true but it is when the payments 2 to 12 are made up to a month earlier than the mensiversary date of payment 1 that gain more.

What bother is it, when setting up monthly £200 standing orders for a regular saver, to have a specific end date one month later (in order to make 13 payments)?

RE Beehive RS

You can withdraw ahead of requesting closure. Withdrawals to external nominated accounts are next working day. Whether that will get you your money any faster remains to be seen. We'll find out tomorrow...
