Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Does anyone hold both these accounts?

Principality BS - First Home Steps Online

Principality BS - First Home Steps Account (Issue 2)

(i.e. the online and branch one)

These accounts both offer the same tiered interest of 0.8%-1.5% depending on balance, monthly deposit limits of £1,500, 3 withdrawals a year and a max balance of £25k.

PRAISETHESUN

I hold the online version, but not the branch version (no branches near me). In the T&Cs for each account they state that you can only hold one account of each issue. They seem to treat the branch/online accounts as separate from each other, which suggests there's nothing stopping you from holding both if you wanted.

It takes 2 months to get to the 1% tier and 6 months to get to the 1.5% tier (assuming max contributions) so other accounts probably win out over the short term, particularly if you have less money to deposit, but it suits me well

Virgin HBC6 now available. 1.75%

Matures 20/08/22

Usual conditions apply

Glad to see they're keeping the 1.75%, I did wonder if would drop it. 

A great rate but you can only have one of these accounts so I can't apply for this new one.

I have two accounts, waiting to see what happens when they mature.

Is this not being enforced/spotted?

• You can only open this account if you do not own or have not previously owned a property.

Instant withdrawal with Halifax Regular Saver ??

I have been trying to do partial withdrawal on my Halifax Regular Saver today. But it seems they do not allow people to do this. Unlike BOS regular saver, in Halifax RSA there is no “Payments and transfers” button available on online banking??

Is there a way to do partial instant withdrawal with Halifax RSA ??

I remember to read sowhere in the past that there is a condition something like early closure are allowed. But Early cancelarion will need to wait for another one year before youcould apply for another one ? Could you close the account online ?? TIA

No partial withdrawals, but can close.  If close, you're not permitted to open another for 12 months.

Hi Folks,

I have done this weekend's update.

The only thing that has changed is updating the Virgin Money Home Buying Coach Regular Saver from issue 5 to issue 6 (which has a maturity date in August 2022).

I will do the next update next weekend.

I must have missed this when I opened - when does the new Virgin expire?

Can you clarify what you mean by the new Virgin expiring?
