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%

But are there any letting you pay in £500 per month so l can get in £1000 sooner rather then later?
I know l could put in a fixed rate  with the Grand but l want to add extra over the term of the account.

For an extra 12 months I have access to Coventry's First Home Saver Issue 1 at 5.10% variable which allows £1000, though I haven't added anything to that for 11 months as been feeding 7, 7.5, 8, and 10% RS accounts instead.

Some may still have access to that.

I'm not sure if l can open the account . I'll  take a look later. Thank you.

Club Lloyds Monthly Saver, £400 max, 6.25% fixed for a year. If you open a Club Lloyds current account (and jump through the monthly funding hoop). 

Coventry BS has the First Home Saver (2), £1000/mth @ 4.8% var, 60 day notice to avoid penalty.

OK, I'll have a look at the Coventry  one. Thank you.

Principality 6 Month Regular Saver Issue 1

We have one that matured this morning, having not realised I'd already set up an issue 2, before selecting maturity options. This has matured nicely into a second Issue 2 account.

Also the interest paid is higher than I had calculated which I'm baffled a little by. Opened the account on 23/06 and funded with £200 per month, they've paid £31.57 total. I funded one 19th of the month in September but otherwise on 1st of the month. The MSE calculator makes it £27 so I had expected slightly less than this due to my late funding in September.

Most estimates, including the MSE calculator, assume even deposit frequencies with dates spaced whole months apart. You opened the account later in the calendar month but your subsequent deposits were made sooner at the beginning of each month, earning interest for longer.

If it's a choice between one regular saver with a higher monthly deposit limit but a lower interest rate, versus multiple regular savers with lower monthly deposit limits but higher interest rates, I would most definitely choose the latter.

Given me something to think about.
Thanks for given your option.

It’s closed issue. The 4.8% @flaneur@flaneurs_lobster mentioned is the current issue.

Cambridge BS Reward Regular Saver

Those who had this product and set maturity instructions to the Extra Reward Regular Saver, did it take more than the £300 monthly payment? I.e. could you set the maturity preference to be all the maturing funds into this account, and did it process as such please?

Thanks

Anyone know the answer to this please?

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?

I've been setting up regular savers today too. One with Nationwide, the other with Skipton Building Society, with the intention of funding them via my Chase Saver.

The Skipton Building Society bank and monthly standing order details were verified by Chase, after a couple of hours.

The Nationwide Building Society regular saver information hasn't passed verification with Chase. What I've done is send the monthly amount to my FlexDirect account then set up a standing order from my FlexDirect to the Flex Regular Saver. That way, the monthly bank credit will add to the number of transactions which may qualify for next year's Fairer Share Payment.

As mentioned above by another MSE reply, it takes a while for Nationwide to add the details to the Confirmation of Payee name-checking service.

Also, I received an email from Nationwide to confirm the opening of my Flex Regular Saver with this mentioned in the third paragraph:

Just so you know, if you’re paying in using another building society or bank, it may take up to 24 hours before they can find your new account details to make the payment.

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.

As far as I can tell, that is actually not possible with Chase (as of latest version of app running on iOS). If they detect (via the sort code) that the account you are sending to supports COP, they will not allow you to send a payment until the COP is verified.

Thanks anyway for telling me.
