Saffron BS to launch a Ware Regular Saver at 4.75%.

Account lasts 3 years, allows unlimited withdrawals and allows deposits of up to £250/mth.

Currently it appears the account shall be branch opening only but once opened the account can be managed online/branch/post/phone.

Just to clarify it appears this can only be opened in the specific Ware Branch. Not any of the other half dozen branches. That’s an unusual development. Suggests you couldn’t, for example, open it at the Head Office! How strange.

The Ware branch is reopening today after being closed for some time for refurbishment... I assume the account has been launched and named to celebrate this, with a rate which won't leave many disappointed customers among those who can't get to the Ware branch in person.

I could get to the Ware branch, but I wont be paying them a visit to open their RS at such an uncompetitive rate.

...but there may be biscuits!

And tea & coffee They might even have something a little stronger, being that time of year.

Still, not a competative rate, at the moment. I agree! Biscuits or no biscuits........

- Principality BS 6 Month Regular Saver (Issue 2) replaces issue 1 with the same details (7.85% gross p.a. / 8% gross AER fixed on up to £200 per month for 6 months with no withdrawals allowed apart from early closure); you should be able to hold this in addition to a previous issue as the terms and conditions state: "This can be a joint account, but you can’t have more than one of this issue number of the Regular Saver Bond in your name."

JUst tried - an auto "NO"

Just tried what? Opening an issue 2 when holding an issue 1?

Had my Virgin 10% regular saver statement through. In the section about interest rate it says account balance £1282 + 0%. Am I missing something here- I was anticipating earning 10% on £250 a month for a year, rightly or wrongly!

Seems about right. It's showing £32 interest after 5 months. Larger interest amounts will accrew in the later months.

£32 interest after 5 months on a regular saver at £250 per month? I think not.

Edit: I posted in haste. This is correct.

Apologies to Middle_of_the_Road and thanks to all those that rightly admonished me!
