    It appears that Virgin Money have withdrawn regular e saver 18 which paid 1% guaranteed. No doubt they'll start no. 19 in a day or 2 paying a more paltry rate in light of NS&I slashing their rates.
    What makes you say this as issue 18 still on their web site and appears available to open to new applicants??

    It wasn't there when I checked for it but is now!

  • Very true. However frankly right now, if I had a modest lump sum handy (which of course not everyone has), I'd as soon put it straight into a one year fixed rate bond at 1.00% or higher with, say, Principality BS or Cambridge BS as bother with dripping £250 per month into a 1.00% fixed rate RS with a similar institution. The former is less work and, with gilts out to 5 years yielding negative 0.15% p.a. (approx.) today, such bond deals might soon get pulled. 
    Or the Coventry BS Double Access Saver @ 1.20%

    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.
    I, too, had two Monmouthshire Regular Savers mature on Friday and am waiting for the money to turn up in my nominated account! 
    Mine finally made an appearance sometime after 4pm today. Hope yours has arrived as well by now.

    About the same time, yes!

    Monmouthshire RS Issue 4 (1.5%) - Anyone else's still showing interest rate as 0.00% on the Account Summary page?

    They do that until they're fully open and funded
