Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!
Comments
-
I have just updated the spreadsheet on our RS rates, we have 16 on fixed rates and 7 on variable rates. We just opened the Santander at 5% just in case.1
-
All these accounts are existing examples and have been discussed at length previously. Most posters here who want them will already have them.However possibly some will appreciate a reminder of some of the best FIXED rate Regular Savers still available. If you didn’t open them before maybe they are worth a second look before it’s too late?
Skipton have a Loyalty Regular Saver paying 7% fixed
Principality have an 8% fixed Regular Saver
West Brom have a 6% fixed Regular Saver
Cambridge have a Loyalty 6% fixed Regular Saver (plus a 5% Loyalty Regular Saver for those with only a single year’s loyalty.)
Virgin have a 10% fixed Regular Saver for Current Account holders

As advertised below is a list of the variable rate regular savers I'm aware of that have announced rate reductions or that they're holding their rates since the BOE base rate reduction from 5.25% to 5% on 1/8/24.Bridlington1 said:
For ease of reference I'll add a list of which regular savers have announced rate decreases/rate holds since the last BOE base rate reduction to the Archived List of Regular Savers thread later this evening, I've been maintaining a list of them on my spreadsheet anyway so it'll just be a copy/paste job with todays additions thrown in.
There may be some accounts missing, if there are any please let me know.
Note I haven't listed accounts that are yet to declare.

All depends on how much you have available, what accounts you are eligible for etc as you are limited how much you can fund each.jaypers said:Just out of interest, what are people’s minimum RS rates they think are worth having now? Mine is 5.5%…….have access to the Santander 5% one but just doesn’t seem worth it.
Currently 5.5% is my minimum funding wise, has been for a while, did have several 5.25%.
I'm emptying my Bank Of Scotland regular & closing my Halifax regular soon though as need to free up funds.
Next minimum will be the YBS 5.75% Loyalty Regular I think, then TSB @ 6%
I'm not due to have savings end until 19th September or something so got a YBS 7% ending & a 8% Nationwide ending, so over £8000 due to me, gotta keep going till then.
I agree 5% isn't worth it if you can fund better accounts, eg other regular savers, Santander Edge Saver, Cahoot Sunny Day etc.2 -
Mine is now 5.25%. Any RS above top EA rate is worth funding. I keep my Santander opened, but won't fund it until the rate will be above my highest paying EA.jaypers said:Just out of interest, what are people’s minimum RS rates they think are worth having now? Mine is 5.5%…….have access to the Santander 5% one but just doesn’t seem worth it.4 -
Opened one at 5.25% recently, only because it's a fixed rate (Lloyds). I usually fund RS's down to 6% at the lowest, but since I have two fully loaded Monmouthshire BS RS's maturing at the end of this month (and a few other RS's maturing next month), I need a home for the proceeds. So I've opened a bunch of RS's this month that were between 5.25%-5.75% which along with the 5.2% Cahoot Sunny Day Saver, should be able to absorb most of the proceeds in the next month or two. Currently got 25 active RS's.jaypers said:Just out of interest, what are people’s minimum RS rates they think are worth having now?

Thanks @Bridlington1 for the comprehensive listHowever Coventry BS Loyalty Regular Savergoing from 7% to 6.75% not 6.5%I have recently started adding more to my 6% Regular Savers, but I have nothing open below this. Priority is my ZOPA easy access Cash ISA which still has some headroom. If I can no longer add to my ISAs then i'll look at those paying 5.50% or more.
