  • My interpretation would be yes.
    .
    Thus if the interest rate was reduced you'd be able to close the account without penalty within 30 days of being notified of the decrease.
    By "no" I did, of course, mean "yes"..

    Missed the override clause in the General T&Cs. Thanks @Bridlington1.
    No is the new Yes, Ha Ha
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.
  • My Nationwide Flex RS has just matured. I tried to open the current one but the system tells me I can't because I already have a RS.
    Any idea how long it will take to sort itself out?

    Apologies if this has been announced already. It's the same RS that a lot of us opened in September (ending 30/11/2025), but with a new ending date, same interest (6%) fixed

    Market Harborough B.S.


    Fixed Term Regular Saver (31.03.2026)

    6.00% Gross*/AER** fixed 
    Minimum balance – £10
    Maximum balance – £250 (per month)
    Annual interest paid at maturity

    It is possible to hold 2 RS but not deposit more than a total of £250 a month 

    Seems it can only be opened in branch, unlike the September offering 

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

    According to their website the RS must be opened in branch, yes, at least for now. It is worth keeping an eye, anyway, because it is still a good fixed 6% lasting 15 months

    You should be able to open a new RS tomorrow

    Much like the previous version, the account is available to apply for online if you have online access.

    Don't think they've quite finished the web page yet

    "Replace this text with description for product named Fixed Term Regular Saver (31.03.2026) (1YR02)."

    Given the 2 account restrictions, wonder if it's worth opening a second and fund at the minimum (£10/mth) while funding the first at £240, or some other combination?

    The other consideration would be that 2 is the maximum they allow, so might it be worth spreading the maturity dates further apart than just three months (if they continue offering these accounts at intervals.) I figure they are unlikely to drop the rate without further downward movement in the base rate.
