    Re MHBS regular saver
    Can't get the application underway on my phone browser. The APPLY button is partially broken up in it's display and does nothing so I guess I'll have to try on my computer.

    What they're saying is if you have both accounts you can't deposit more than £3k/month in total between the two, so if you max out this one you can only contribute up to £2750/month in to the other (although why you'd bother when the interest rate is so low with a notice period for withdrawals defeats me).
    Not quite. The maximum combined monthly deposit is £250 with a maximum combined balance of £3000 (soon to be £3750)


    In that case, what's the point of a monthly saver account with a monthly deposit limit equal to the overall balance limit?

    I'm putting MHBS on my 'weird' list. That'll teach 'em.
    Just put it on your suspected typo list...

    Just a reminder the Leeds BS interest rate reductions come into effect tomorrow. Of note:

    REGULAR SAVER (ISSUE 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53 & 54) from 5.25% to 5.1% (brings it in line with the currently available issue 55)

    Home Deposit Saver- NO CHANGE for balances below £30k (remains at 5.15%), though the rate on balances of £30k+ reduces from 2.45% to 2.3%.

    One does not equal the other.
    The maximum combined monthly deposit over the two accounts is £250
    The maximum combined balance over the two accounts is £3000 (soon to be £3750)
    So if you contribute £250 to one of the accounts, you cannot contribute that month to the other one as well, but you could contribute £125 to each of the two.


    "Save between £10 – £3,000 a month"

    That one has a different total balance allowable tho, so I guess the total balance isn't shared.

    So after a call to Market Harb BS, they have agreed to make the max pay in 15 payments! So a max £3750
    and will be amending the terms to reflect that shortly... :smile:

    And another morsel of interest - they update deposits every 2 hours during office hours ... so you should be able to see weekday deposits online same day made before 15.00 hours.  





    Seems even payments after 3pm can appear same day, since I didn't send funds until around 3:30pm but can already see it in the regular saver :)

    Market Harborough BS

    The name of the account is "Fixed Tern Regular Saver (30.11.2025)" (this is what I applied for) but it is showing as One Year Regular Saver on my online list. No reference to the interest rate in the account details either.  Is this okay?

    I can't fund until tomorrow as CoP not recognising the details.

    Same here.  Though if you go to 'View Account Details' (not 'Interest and Tax Information') it shows the interest rate as 6% on that screen.  At least it does for me.
