Market Harborough Regular Saver Issue 2

I applied online yesterday and was told my application was being 'checked' and was required to send in a photo of ID/address. The account is now showing online.
Have I understood correctly from above discussions that I need to make a £10 payment in December to keep the account open? Or can I wait until January to avoid going over the £250 limit?

From my experimentations so far their systems enforce the rule as though it is £250 per individual account per month rather than £250 between them.

Additionally you can have 2 of each regular saver in sole names.

I've now got two of the Market Harborough BS Regular Saver Issue 1 and two of Issue 2, each has been funded with £250 for December (so £1k between the 4 accounts for December).

You are the absolute goat of regular savers tbh . Didn't even cross my mind this would be an option!

I too have 2 Issue 1 Regular Savers but only managed to get 1 of Issue 2 before they made it branch based application only. Still, £750 a month is better than nothing

Thought I'd seen it mentioned somewhere, but can't find it for some reason. MHBS home page says it is down for maintenance, but this maintenance isn't in the schedule. Hopefully it comes back up at some point and then I can apply for the RSs 🤞🏼

The application links for both issue 1 and issue 2 appear to have been pulled, their other application links still seem to be live though. Previously Market Harborough have kept application links to NLA accounts live so I suspect they've decided to enforce their branch only applications rule on this occasion.

I didn't manage to get round to using the link yesterday and have just tried but, unfortunately, the link's now inoperative.  Message just says product currently unavailable .

MHBS RS Issue 2 - So they are not enforcing their T&C`s?

"Customers may only have two Fixed Term Regular Saver accounts open at a time, either solely or jointly, with a combined maximum deposit of £250 per month not exceeding the maximum balance of £3,750.00"

My reading of the above implies you cannot pay in two lots of £250 each month.

I set up a Nationwide regular saver earlier today. It shows up in my online banking. Chase can't find it though when I try and set up a scheduled payment. Am I doing something improper?

It can take overnight/a day for the data to be fed to the centralised COP system. You should still be able to send the deposit, just check and triple check you've entered the correct account numbers.

Was looking at this account earlier with maybe putting £500 (max allowed) in for first two months thereafter £100.
Any thoughts?

Plenty of higher paying RS accounts available, unless you already have them all.
 I won’t open/fund any RS unless it pays over 5%

OK, I'll keeping looking for a higher rate.
