    I took the risk and closed my Principality 6 Month and - this was the risk - I have been able to open a new 6 Month. I was worrying between closing and reopening but now I’ve done it I am feeling smug!
    Did the same myself. Closed my Principality 6 Month Saver, due to mature next month, and opened a new one within about 90 mins. 
    Does anyone know how long it takes for the Principality BS, on account closure, to transfer out the funds to an external account?
    Received money within a couple of hours after closure.  Opened the new one straight away.
    My money arrived within about three hours of getting a confirmation of closure. A good experience. Well done, Principality.

    Vernon BS Rate Reductions From 1/12/24:

    Online Regular Saver 6.5% NO CHANGE
    Locals only isn't it?
    On Moneyfacts it says existing customers as well, but cannot find any reference to that on Vernon's website. I think originally it was also available for existing customers, but perhaps Moneyfacts hasn't updated its website 
    If you log in and go to "Products" in the left hand pane you get the list of options of which the ORS is there. I opened it in June though. The product info does say the postcodes but IIRC it said the same when I opened it.
    I've had a look. The application process specifically asks if I was a member of Vernon prior to 1st May 2024, which I wasn't!
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    I've just tried closing my 6 month regular saver in order to try to reopen one, but its still showing as open and the message I got when I requested closure was it should be actioned within 1 day.  I was in two minds as to whether to close it as it still had until the 24 December before it matured, not too hopeful it'll still be available by tomorrow.  Does anyone know if each of their closures have to be manually checked?
    It's no longer showing on Moneyfacts, which would tend to indicate it's NLA from tomorrow

    It still shows on moneyfacts for me:

    Annoyingly moneyfacts have very recently decided to start sorting the accounts in alphabetical order of bank/building society by default so I've just had to update my bookmarked moneyfacts links.

    Just opened  Lloyds monthly @ 5.25%.  Also, renewed and reopened the club lloyds monthly.

    Rate on both is fixed and allows unlimited withdrawals.
    I wonder how many of the accounts at 6% and above will reduce their rates for new openings 
    We'll see reductions following BoE across the board, "renewing" the "still available" fixed rate RSs is a good idea for now. I've done PBS 6-months and Skipton Loyalty today, thinking of "renewing" LBGs sometime soon too.

    Wish there is a way to sort so that it only displays Fixed rate regular savers. 

    I don't think it's possible, even in the "Full search"
