When does the YBS regular saver open?

Just considering whether to take out a Santander RS to add to the rest, advantage being that the interest rate of 5% can’t be reduced. Only £200 pcm allowed but maybe a no brainer as no restrictions etc. 

I have it opened, it doesn't require any balance or deposits, can't go wrong with it.

Apologies if this has been covered, I received my ‘Signatory form’ from Monmouth B.S for the regular saver, I have added the new account online which is now pending. The form has just been put into the post box today. How soon do I need to wait before I can send some money to the account.

Thanks

I've just come back 30mins ago from sending the form back at the post office, and have already paid in using the usual details and my new account ref. I did the same last year with the RSes and had no problems.

Maybe Beehive will bring one out for UK Savers Week too as they did last year.  Maybe other banks too. 

I'm not sure how much longer Beehive will exist (as a brand).  It could be The Nottingham decide to hold off and instead use the launch of a new savings product to gain publicity for what comes next. (just speculation)

I added the account to online banking as soon as I had the account number. It showed as pending. I then paid into the account before posting the signature form. Thus managed to get the account funded on 30 August.

On that basis I don't think you need to wait.

Re Monmouthshire.  Not only can you fund the account as soon as you have the number, you can submit the signature form on line by creating a pdf and attaching it to a secure message once logged on.

Same here. It's what I always did with MMTH accounts, never had a problem. It can just take a couple of working days until you actually see your deposit, which in my experience is always dated on the day you sent it, or the next working day if you sent it on a non-working day

Not a top one but of note for those who live/work near a branch:

Penrith BS have launched a Regular Saver 200 (Issue 2) at 5%(var)
Account can be opened in branch only.
