Thanks for this.

Like a few on here I thought holding the N/A Regular Saver 300 would have enabled me to apply for the Branch 200 but to no avail.

So it's nice that you've highlighted this.

Penrith BS have a 200 Issue 1 (Online) and now a 200 Issue 2 (In branch) available. From the info I've read at Penrith you can hold both, so I'd go in branch and ask about the 200 Issue 2 again!

.

I definitely wasn't clear here.

I live hundreds of miles away from branch but have been a saver with them for years after I opened a previous iteration of the 200 in branch.

Subsequently they opened up a 300 by post which I still have - running at £300p.m and 6%.

Hence why I thought they may (a couple of months ago) be ok with opening a 200 branch by post / phone.  This wasn't possible though (like others on here).

Thanks for coming back to me.

Coventry Loyalty Regular Saver maturity - slightly better option is to close the easy access saver (there is a close account option via payments). Still next day payment to your nominated account but you don`t have another account probably with a few pence in it cluttering up your home page.

Is there any chance of a replacement Coventry Loyalty RS?

How do you close the Coventry easy access account once you've transferred out the funds? Can it be done through the app?

No online desktop only.

Login via desktop, view the account.

Top right, Account details.

Lower down the page, Close account.

News today from the Co-Op via email this morning states that Coventry are to buy them out as of the 1st January, 2025, so with that in mind and the fact that the Co-Op already run a 7% Regular Saver, then probably not likely, but you never know

I decided to close my Co-op RS this morning and reapplied for a fresh fixed 7% RS which will be up and running tomorrow, as I doubt that when Conventry takes over they will offer a better rate, so I see it as the Loyalty Saver already on offer @ a lovely 7% Fixed Rate

My Coventry LRS matured today 28th but its still not been transferred into an easy saver account with interest, yet. I know some had their accounts swap over late yesterday, so no doubt I'll have to ring them soon to find out what the issue is. If it's anything like the TSB App meltdown at 4am this morning which locked me out of all my accounts meaning I had to re-register for internet banking but there were ongoing faults online so had to phone again to get it done manually over the phone It took an hour to resolve

I closed my Coventry yesterday evening and the funds arrived in my bank this afternoon.

Do existing online customers with Penrith find they get their new account details immediately or a message saying there are further checks to be carried out? 

In my experience, i always seems to get the latter..

It was next day for me. I.e. I applied late last night as a new customer, could login lamost immediately, and I had all the remaining details by 10am this morning. My deposit doesn't show yet as that seems to take another day but there was a CoP match, so it will all sort itself.

Applied at 0930 this morning as a new customer, registration e-mail with online login activation details received at 0951 and then another e-mail arrived at 1129 to say the account has been added and to login for details and then deposit made, however not showing as received  4 hours later.
Seeing as they use the same platform as Chorley/MonBS I assume it won't get updated til overnight.
