    Co-op saver

    I opened it in April but only have £1065 in it, I know you can put £250 a month in but can I top it up to £3000 to make up for the months I didn't max it out?

    No
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    'Fraid not, T&Cs say a max of £250 can be deposited in any calendar month.

    Crazy how we find out about these via this forum before the provider itself!

    Thanks for this. Cannot locate the CBS Sunny Day Saver RS anywhere in that document, so I assume that will remain at 6.25% then
    Likewise the First Home Saver (2) staying at 4.8%

    Thinking of applying for Melton Regular Saver 6.
    Dont normally go for postal operated accounts.
    Wasn't going to send id docs on first application attempt, usually i get ID electronically for bank/bs applications.
    Do they typically look for verified ID?

    I got ID electronically, didn't have to send anything.
    Do monthly payments need to be by post too?

    No, you can send in by Faster Payment. You can also provide a nominated account and withdraw to that account.

    Only application is by post.

    Move quickly if you want the account, I was under the impression it'd already have been made NLA by now.
  • Given the clear downward trend of rates and cuts as expected with the BOE reductions, do people think that RS will drop below 5%?
