Saffron BS Interest rate reductions from 30/8/24:

Small Saver from 5.75% to 5.5%
12 Month Members RS from 5.25% to 5%

Is it possible to have more than one regular saver with Saffron? I have the members month loyalty RS but not either of those.  Thanks!

Yes, but not both

I thought the summary box was a bit unclear which is why I asked but in reading the T&C  for the 12 month members RS, it says 

• You can only hold one regular savings product at any time with Saffron.

Did you manage to open more than one?

I suspect they mean that you can hold the Loyalty RS and one of the other two (either Regular or Small Saver) RS, but not both Regular AND Small Saver.

On the Members' Month Loyalty Saver page, under the "how do I open & manage", it stated..

You can only hold one Members' Month Loyalty Saver, as well as one regular savings product at any time with Saffron.

I only have the Loyalty saver and haven't opened either of the other two personally.

i've sent a secure message to Saffron about their new rates because my accounts are either earlier issues to the listed current ones or NLA - so Bridlington's trick wouldn't work... though I assume they've all dropped 0.25%

Correct 1 Members Month plus EITHER Regular (12 month membership minimum to get) OR Small Saver is allowed

Has anyone managed to set a linked bank account, and if so, which bank did you link?

I did though it took a phone call to them to sort it out. They didn't have TSB on their database but dealt with it very quickly. Great friendly staff too.

NatWest, although it wasn't initially recognised by Progressive. Phone call and their IT dept. sorted it. Seems whatever system they use does not recognise all Sort Codes.

RBS wasn't recognised so I used Ulster Bank ...being in NI they must have that in their database I thought!!

No issues setting up First Direct for my linked account.

My Halifax account was rejected, I had to use my Santander account.
