    Not eligible until the regular saver has been converted into an easy access saver, hopefully tomorrow.
  • You should try, I did a few months ago and the system allowed me to open another.  The fact the rate has dropped means it is now an easy access.

    I did, and it said I was ineligible because I already hold a Regular Saver account. It went on to say that I would be able to open a new account on or after the date my existing Regular Saver account matures.

    Probably due to the weekend being two non working days.
  • My CBS regular saver matures on the 5th October - any suggestions as to where to put it?  Was thinking of just putting it into my Marcus account which has around 15k atm.
    Savings as of April 2023 Savings account - £26460.50(14474.88)Current account - £2140.24(4576.79)Total - £28600.74(19051.67) £1010 (£65pm CS/BS) £250 CS/BS/JS
  • My Coventry Regular Saver matured yesterday.  I was really surprised when I logged in, to check if my Double Access Saver was still 1.20%, as they have dropped rate to 1.10% on website; to find my matured regular saver funds have transferred into an easy access account paying 0.30% it being a weekend.
    Same here, cash plus interest on its way for pastures new tomorrow, and a new Coventry Regular saver at 1.55% opened.
    The cycle continues but the wheels are getting smaller :(

    Does anyone know if Saffron Building Society are offering anything on maturity at the moment?  My accounts matures in two weeks, but no sign of the maturity pack yet.  Their website suggests there are no regular savings accounts for new customers, so wondered if they have any special deals for maturing accounts?

    My default plan is to feed RS maturities into my RS Feeder (currently my Al Rayan, but might start using Skipton for Standing Orders).
    Sometimes I add a chunk to a fixed rate savings, e.g. opened a 1 Year fix with Paragon 1.3% recently for some of my Coventry RS cash, but the intertest on fixed rate accounts is fading too.
    The Charter 1 Year 1.21% fix with a Raisin bonus seems best deal at the moment, but I expect it will be gone soon.
    I might even bring some of those fixed rate 1% Reqular savers into play, but I've been spurning those below 1.5% for now.

    You could open another CBS regular saver when it matures.  You can still put in NS&I until 23/11/20 at 1.15%.  Principality easy access Web 3 is 0.80%.  It depends on whether you want easy access or limited access.  Some are offering better rates if you restrict your withdrawals.  Suddenly to me the Yorkshire Bank at 0.85% is looking attractive.

    Do Skipton BS have a savings account which allows outbound Standing Orders? I've been on the look out for a savings account which can do SO's, but there aren't many about these days!
