Geez this thread has gone a bit off course.
Lets hope there is no new Tipton mutation caused by all these cheques being spread across the UK.
Sorry but they are a small building society doing their best - no one forces you to have an account with them. You get personal service - but it can be a bit quirky. Because they are only really set up to serve a small area of the West Midlands mainly via their branch network.7 -

And a big round of applause to all those hard working Tipton staff processing all those regular saver applications and addressing app issues. They must have been rushed off their feet with all the applications but they were always so nice and friendly on the phone. Local service with a financial institution that employs UK based staff and doesn't offshore jobs - even better!5 -

It wasn't my idea.2

Coventry have withdrawn issue 4 and replaced it with issue 5 now paying 1.05%. It still allows £500 per month so worth opening as a backup in case the last couple of easy access accounts people still have drop below the 1% level in the next year.
Yes we all know the T&C say 1 issue at a time blah blah blah.13 -
Blimey, and I nearly tried to open a second at 1.30% last night.
That's the issue in this game. Ponder and you miss it 🤷♂️4
