Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Special_Saver2

Hi Folks,

Here is this weekend's update to this thread.

- Furness BS 1 Year Regular Saver account added to post 4 (12 month accounts) paying 1% variable on up to £1,000 per month (assuming you open the maximum 4 accounts)

I will do the next update next weekend.

I have been trying to open the TSB Monthly Saver online  but cannot achieve it. Although I have been  clicking on the link to do it, the next page only gives the option of their e-Savings account. I phoned & was told it is still available but they cannot open from the phone call so my only option is a branch visit but that would mean me having to drive to another town which isn't really covered by the current corona rules. Any ideas please to avoid the visit?

I already have one but when logged in to TSB, I clicked through and got to the account which said (as expected) that I was ineligible.

I cannot think why you cannot access the page and the only suggestion is to clear your cookies and/or try a different browser.

I can also click through successfully redagila, does this link work when you are logged into your TSB account?

Furness 1 Year Regular Saver - i can confirm that  4 is the maximum. They require separate applications for each account and separate cheques, posted with the applications. At present they are accepting non certified photocopies of List1 documents and will return any originals documents sent. Naturally, don't send original passport, driving licence etc.

@redagila, I can see the Monthly Saver alright and can fill in the application form whilst logged into online banking. Alas, that's as far as I can get.....




Worse than that, when I try again, it now says I already have "a current contract". Needless to say, the RS does not show in my list of accounts. CBA to continue fighting with the TSB systems.

What browser are you using? Chrome is really buggy with TSB's new website, but Edge just about works (albeit I have not opened an account recently, but to make any sort of payment I have to be in Edge not Chrome).

It was in Chrome. Can't try it in Edge now as I have this current contract thing (I feel like a mafiosi now, having a contract on TSB 🤣)

Just wait until they make you a switching offer you can't refuse....

To add insult to injury, they are now asking me to fund the Monthly Saver that doesn't show in my accounts. TSB, The Shambles Bank.
