Halifax/BOS regular savers

I have a letter from Halifax saying they will auto renew mine (at the new 1% rate), I just want the account as backup in case rates go further down - is there a minimum amount that needs to be paid in each month? Their website states 'The amount that you save each month can vary but needs to stay between the £25 to £250 monthly limit.' so seems it must be at least £25 a month?

Although I haven't received a letter yet from BOS I am assuming they will do the same (auto renew) and whatever the answer to the above will be the case for this too?

It's £25 but note that the Halifax RS and BOS RS T&C aren't exactly the same.

E.g. Halifax doesn't allow withdrawals.

The following is from Halifax's terms and conditions for their regular saver:

"You don’t have to pay in every month, and you can change the amount you save each month at any time"

Just realised that I've not yet opened a Coventry RS issue 4 paying 1.3%.
I am sure it's allowed but is anyone holding  issue 3 and 4 at the same time? Thanks.

It is not allowed and specifically mentioned in T&C that you can only hold one RS at a time.

That said, I held 2 and 3, until matured this month. No issues.

I had issue 2, 3 and 4 all at once. Issue 2 matured two weeks after I opened issue 3.  Still got 3 and 4.

Thanks everyone. I will go ahead and open one before they launch issue 5 with lower interest.

re: Principality "First Home Steps Online"

I contacted them (mostly to get logged that I had attempted to open the account in the event it was withdrawn). I got a reply saying they was aware of it. I was later able to open the account. Not sure if the issue is fixed or they just fixed it for my login but worth other other posters retry if they had the error previously.

In order to withdraw money, you need to send them your bank statement for it to linked

Does anyone have personal experience of making a 13th payment towards a Cambridge BS Regular saver? Any idea if accepted or just gets returned??

For the Saffron Members Regular Saver, how long has it taken for other's accounts to be opened?  I applied in their online banking last week, but haven't heard anything since.

I opened this account in Dec and feel sure it was instantly set up, I then had a letter saying account was open and how I could fund it.
