Progressive BS Interest Rate Reductions From 2nd September:

Various rates will be decreasing, of note is that there is no change to the interest rate on their Online Regular Rainy Day Saver at 7%, thus this account will be remaining at 7% for now.

Is there a list of their changes, cant see it on the site?

The double access cash ISA is still showing 5.05% which is the one i'd be interested in atm

Not that I've seen. I was one of those who opened the 7% RS before it became available to all UK residents so had to open a Branch Instant Access Saver first. I got a letter saying the branch instant saver was reducing from 3% to 2.75% on 2/9/24.

I gave Progressive BS a ring and they told me they were reducing many of their savings rates but checked and confirmed the 7% regular saver wasn't included in this so would remain at 7% for now. I never asked about any of the other accounts as I was just about to start eating my tea when I opened the letter and don't hold the 5.05% ISA so it wasn't at the forefront of my mind.

You prioritised eating over checking regular savings accounts' interest rates?

Lightweight.

I know, it's not up to my usual standards is it?

In my defence I've a slight cold at the moment, which has decimated my voice somewhat, consequently I took the rare decision to keep my telephone interactions with the banks/building societies to a minimum till the cold's eased off a bit.

I have since sent them a message online asking them whether their other regular savers and the 5.05% ISA is going to be affected, but I doubt I'll hear back from them till after the bank holiday to be fair.

Yorkshire BS Loyalty Regular e Saver ... 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.

Yes i managed to open both of these too. My YBS matures 20/9 and NW 28/10.

I wonder what new monthly savers will be out around then 🤔😅

Just a reminder the Hinckley & Rugby BS interest rate reductions come into effect today. This includes:

HRBS Regular Saver 30 Day Notice from 5.25% to 5%
HRBS Regular Saver 30 Day Notice Issue 2 from 5.1% to 4.85%

Snapdragon

Monmouthshire BS 6%
I applied and today received my Online Signatory Form, which I obviously need to return.  The letter says 'you will not be able to transact on your account until we are in receipt of this.'
Have been able to login and add the extra account which now shows as 'Pending'. Since I have the account details can I now make an August payment into it? Given the post/BHols, how will I know when they've received the form, if that does in fact prevent putting anything in as yet?
Can anyone advise please? Has anyone successfully made a payment in yet?

Mon 6% I was advised (23/8) that I could pay in. Did so, but not showing yet. My online form is still sitting here

In the past I've been able to make deposits into MBS savings accounts when I've had only the online signatory form, so I don't see why this account should be any different.

I got my form through today, though I intend to wait till next week before funding it as the MBS regular saver term begins the day the first deposit is received rather than the day you apply for it (plus I've got last year's MBS regular savers maturing on 30th).

I've also done well for their prepaid envelopes of late given that I applied for the NLA 4.75% regular saver and the NLA 4.8% Limited Access Saver in the last couple of weeks and haven't yet sent their online signatory forms off.

Still waiting for Monmouthshire to send paperwork to me. I applied the first morning and I am a long time existing member. Not panicking yet but with the Bank Holiday won’t be any post now until Tuesday afternoon.

Yes, you can make the payment. Don't worry if it doesn't show online for a few days - you know what MonBS are like
