    Worth mentioning T&C:
    1.3 You can only be named on one Regular Saver (including any subsequent issues) at any one time.

    Principality BS Regular Saver Bond (Issue 21)


    This is the Principality account I have just taken out. There is a Virgin Money account the same and I have taken that out too.

    Principality BS Regular Saver Bond (Issue 21)

    Issue 20 was maximum £500 per month, Issue 21 is reduced to £250 maximum. Also change in terms about closure. 
    Condition 3 of t&c states   "The Bond can be opened as a Joint Account but this offer is limited to only one Bond of any given issue number for each customer  ....."



  • I also noticed a tariff of £8 to transfer money out of Principality

    Some Building Societies don't allow transfers out by Faster Payments or BACS, and the only other transfer options they offer are chargeable (e.g. CHAPS), but you can usually withdraw your money in the form of a cheque free of charge.

    Does anyone know that you can get your money out of Principality without charge, by whatever method.   I didn't think that a "Telegraphic Transfer Fee" was just for "ordinary" withdrawals.   Have I misinterpreted?
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    I haven't attempted any ad-hoc withdrawals but last November and December the maturity proceeds from my issue 18 and 19 Principally regular savers were transferred to my specified bank account by faster payments at no charge.  They were both on the day of maturity, too, not next day as many banks and BSs like to do.
