Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Set up a Coventry RS today, issue 3, I already have a issue 2.  When I look at the account it says interest is 0.00 %. Anybody else who has the two with Coventry find this?

Assuming now it’s because I already have a Reg Saver with them, those that also said they had 2 best check as it looks like you’ll only get the interest on one

It will update with correct rate in a day or so.

Maybe give it a couple of days to show the correct interest rate and then feedback on here?

It updates to the correct rate as soon as your first deposit has cleared.

Ah gr8 HSBC and First Direct.... the best reg saver rate is like 1.5% and easy access saver 0.75%. I've had a few accounts maturing and am wondering with the best rates so cut is it worth opening and maintaining them? I at least thought the HSBC /FD would have stayed at 2.75 or competitive as it was always best on the market!
Things for savers gonna get a lot worse 

It's been speculated that HSBC may well split from their UK businesses and sell it off. I doubt they care much now!

Regarding the Tipton regular saver, on the application form is asks, 'Tick to confirm you have received a savings welcome pack?
How can you do that if you are only just sending off the application form or am I missing something?
The other two questions about privacy notice and deposit guarantee scheme can be found on the web site.

Tipton BS has just launched a fixed rate RS paying 1.35% (max £500 pm, matures Feb-2022). For this one there's no app, or even any online access:  it involves a manual application form and cheque. I couldn't find any postcode restrictions.

I can't see any restriction (online at least) for those of us who already hold the 2020/21 Tipton's Regular Saver.

But in the paper copy of the 2019/20 Fixed Regular Saver (which matured and i started again as a 2% 2020/21 Fixed Regular Saver with the same account details) it states:

Only one account can be opened per customer.

I wonder if this means per issue or per Fixed Regular Saver?

nearly sent off my application form then saw this.  

EDIT: Just spoke to them and they confirmed that you are allowed to open one of each issue.

It’s updated to the 1.55% interest rate now.

Separately, Leek BS is cutting the rate on its currently open RS product from 1.35% to 1.10% effective 2nd December.

Any mention of other RS rate changes?
I have the old Leek RS (open-ended, closed issue) account. When the rate was cut in April I requested a withdrawal by cheque. It took 41 days: 21 to reach a cashier then 20 to come back.
I have sent off another withdrawal request as the old bonus has now ended and is paying just 0.85%. It has already been 2 weeks.
