Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

I realise the post above has nothing whatsoever to do with regular savings accounts; it's just a friendly reply to a lovely, unexpected, friendly post! Apologies to anyone who may be bothered by it!

You are a breathe of fresh air do not apologise -  myself has been the butt of criticism but my bank manager has a wide grin

I am a penny pincher but today - distracted by the grandkids home for half term I sent my first payment to YBS to a saver account instead of regular saver and they have informed me my refund will not hit my current account until next banking day so my £500 is in lah lah land

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that's happened to you! Did you open the regular saver what has now become yesterday (it was today until a few minutes ago) or almost exactly a month ago?

That's very kind, thank you! I haven't seen my bank manager since I left university, I don't know whether that's a good thing or not?!

It was my 3rd payment that went successfully in the end into my YBS regular saver. I thought because of the Bank Holiday my refund from my YBS internet saver would be delayed but it arrived in my current account this morning.

That appears to be very good news for you, when all's said and done. You obviously will be very relieved!

Re the Nationwide Start to Save account - I have a note to withdraw on 22/10/21 as that is when the last draw is, but considering it is still paying 1% is there a specific date when the account matures or something?
