Notts BS RS
This (original) RS is having its rate reduced to 0.55% with bonus ( 0.05 without) from 1st October.

I wonder if the fantastic rate promise they made as Covid closed in is now coming to an end for all their other RS?

Edit - reading the letter it states '...we have now taken the decision to lower our savings rates...'.

Hence those with their other RS brace yourselves for a few letters in the next few days.

Yes you must be right. That's a shame. My only variable rate product with them is the RS issue 2 which is currently at 2%. I guess I'll be closing more than just the Seasonal Saver come 30 November.

Yes.
This RS has reduced from an overall of 1.2% (with bonus).

I can see the RS8 (2.5%), Panthers (1.5%),  Seasonal Saver (2.5%) and RS2 (2%) following suit but maybe a little later (I can hope!).

The press release dated 21st April said interest rates were to be frozen for 3 months.

Does anyone know if Coventry's Reg Saver matures automatically over a weekend, or will it not show as an Easy Access saver until the Monday?    Mines due to mature on Saturday 26th, so I was just wondering.    Thanks.

Same date for me. Though I'll be checking on the Saturday and the Sunday, I'm expecting it on the Monday. Once this is out of the way we'll be primed from experience for when 2 and 3 mature!

I am a tad disappointed with Monmouthshire. A regular saver matured today, and whilst they (manually?) added the interest at some point during today, "transferred" the balance out, and closed the account, the money has not arrived in my current account. I don't now expect it until Monday. My linked account has been used before for transfers, so it's not a matter of incorrect account details.

As is normal with MON accounts which mature over a weekend, annual interest is added and a debit entry is made on maturity date, however additional interest will be added to the account on Monday to cover the two additional days and the funds will be transferred at that point.
