Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Principality BS
Have opened up 3 accounts at the same time.
Christmas Saver 7% £125 Reg Saver per month
6 month bond 8% £200 per month
Regular Saver 5.5% £250 per month
Found it easier to do in branch. Have yet to calculate the %age return but I don't expect it to be that much!

Trying to open a Christmas saver with PBS. Am an existing customer but it keeps running into a problem. Will probably go into branch to sort it out as I'm not a fan of BS online services to be honest. MHBS feels like I've gone back in time by about 20 years!

Anyway apologies for mini-rant. I just wondered if anyone else (existing PBS customers) had been having a problem too?

I had a few error problems too last night. Tried link supplied by ForumUser7 and got in and up and set up new account within a few minutes. https://online.principality.co.uk/Originations/LaunchPage.aspx?ProductCode=6081&ProductType=RegularSaver&CIJ=true#!

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one, but I do still keep getting the error. It shows me all the documents and I tick a box to accept and then it goes whoopsie. Is it likely they system needs me to click on every pdf link??

Just need a little patience I think.  I also had problems with both the 6 month regular saver and this new one. Got there eventually. Just seems a bit random.

I always click on the pdf links and download them for my info, so perhaps you do need to do that. I know some banks don't allow you to proceed any further until you've opened up the blurb which you may well need.

I don`t bother too much with calculating the actual return - as long as the rate is above 5%.

Thank. That seemed to work for me too after having multiple errors.

Looks like the interest for the YBS Christmas Regular Saver has been credited today. Mine showing as £40.95

Does anyone else find it strange that Principality launch the Christmas Saver at 7% after sending out the letters for the Maturity Winter RS, in which the only RS option was the 5.5% option set out in the literature? 

I selected that online and then a few days later they launch this Christmas RS at 7%. The 5.5% product has a bigger monthly pay-in, but the 7% product has the same pay-in as the maturing Winter RS, not least in nomenclature* and would have made more sense to me anyway as the maturity option/loyalty product/rollover.

*IIRC the original product for the Maturity Winter Saver was a Christmas Saver 22-23!

It’s not a problem for me personally in that I can afford to open both, with the 5.5% set as my maturity option - but I find it odd the new 7% one wasn’t included as an option with my paperwork. It does seem slightly odd. 

I tipped Mr Woodler the wink, he rang up and sorted it as his maturity option, so it’s possible.

It was probably just a case that it wasn’t an available option when the maturity options were prepared and sent out to you. Perhaps there was even an internal NDA around the product until a certain date.

Same week though? The launch was literally 2 days after receiving my maturity pack. It doesn’t feel very coordinated to me.
