Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

I nearly missed this one with the amount of information here, but glad I saw it and very pleased with customer service.

Used online chat to check eligibility of my account - instant connection and speedy answer.  Selected apply for account on line and within 10 minutes had phone call from local branch asking if I wanted form posted out, or would like telephone appointment to apply.  Chose telephone appointment and received phone call dead on time next day.
Edited:  referring to YBS 3.5% Loyalty Regular Saver.

Sorry.   I had searched for YBS regular saver and was thinking of following on from previous quotes.   Yes.  I'm talking about experience applying for YBS Loyalty Regular Saver

For Reg savers which require a SO (BOS, Hal, Lloyds x 2 and TSB for the ones I have) which are a minimum amount, can I top these up by doing an online bank transfer?

I know some only allow 1 deposit per month (which would have been done with the SO) and I haven't needed to do so previously, but now due to dwindling rates...

I never fund BOS, Hal, Lloyds x 2 by SO and yes more than 1 payment can be made per month, TSB "you can only pay in once a month by standing order"

Ok thanks I'll have to change them then as I prefer to do it manually.

So does that mean TSB only allow a SO? So I can't top it up afterwards?

Yes, TSB only allows a SO Payment, not possible to make payment by internal transfer, you could try amending date on SO and see if second payment goes through

For a change ,TSB's actual words are unambiguous:
Monthly Savings Account | Savings | TSB Bank
"You must set up a monthly standing order between £25 and up to £250 from a TSB current account. You can only make one payment each month into your account."

I don't have SO for TSB, I simply make a transfer from my TSB current account every month and never had a problem. I've never tried to make a second payment though so can't say if it would bounce back or not.
