    The Suffolk Building Society 'Smart Save Monthly' and 'Holiday Save' regular saver account interest rates will be reducing from 5.15% to 4.90% w.e.f. 2nd September 2024.  

    Both accounts are NLA. 

    Source: Letter received today from Suffolk Building Society.
    Very cheeky since they didn't increase them when BoE rate went from 5 to 5.25%, but cut the full 0.25% off when the rate reversed to where it was.

    Yorkshire BS Loyalty Regular e Saver

    Only £3 less on £3000 held in the account for 12 months. In reality, less than this.

    Still, makes you wonder how such a mistake can be made. Did the junior person tasked with preparing the table misread the handwritten scrawl on the back of the fag packet passed down from the senior management?

    Maybe the junior didn't notice the 2023 suffix after 'Loyalty Regular eSaver' on the fag packet? (My Yorkshire Loyalty Regular eSaver 2023 is still paying 7% according to the app.)

    The 2023 version ends 21st September or something for me, I don't think there's any changes to that but there is to the newer version.

    Really looking forward to the pay out on the 2023 , 7% on £6000 🤤, such a good account @ £500 max a month.

    Also my 8% Nationwide is ending a few days earlier, got a reminder email from them today about it, can get an extra £200 in for that at start of next month too.
  • Have you decided what you will spend your extra £1.30p on yet or will you 'reinvest' it ?

    It's still 7% but it will mature soon. 8 days in my case.

    I'm not sure yet, what do you advise?, I guess £1 of it will used to fund/refund myself because I'm trying to set myself up a Monmouthshire easy access account so that leaves me with 30p🤣😂

    First world problem.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.
