There is no specified maximum balance for the regular saver, the only reference to maximum amounts I could find is in the general savings terms and conditions;
5.3 The overall maximum holding by any one person in respect of all savings accounts with the Society is £125,000.

Saffron Members Regular Saver (Issue 9)
Does this account have a minimum monthly requirement? The webpage just says you can't make up missed payments so sounds like a no.0 -

Best confirm it with them - in my experience, they are easy to get hold of on the phone,

Apparently en route to that point I said no to camera permission. I was directed to Settings to change it. Said yes to 'allow Chase to access camera' and expected NEXT. But nothing. On the same page Siri & Search and Notifications are OFF and Mobile Data and Allow Tracking are ON."Look after your pennies and your pounds will look after themselves"1

I fully expect to receive the interest as my understanding of the terms is that a regular payment is no longer required.

I'm not expecting any issues with the interest being paid today, since I've paid into the account during Mar. It'll come at some point - start to panic if there's nothing in by tomorrow morning.
I'm thinking the more likely issue (if any) is that the interest due on 01st May doesn't get paid because there was no deposit made in Apr. Wait and see -shrugs-0 -
JamesRobinson48 said:True to form, today Leeds BS has launched RS Issue 27 (1.10% variable, max £250 pm, max £6000 total, matures 31 March 2024).
https://www.leedsbuildingsociety.co.uk/savings/regular-saver/regular-saver/
As usual, current holders of any earlier iteration (i.e. RS Issues 23 through 26) are not eligible for Issue 27. Incidentally, the variable interest rate on those closed issues has been increased from 1.00% to 1.10% with effect from today.
As has been observed previously, the Leeds BS RS product makes acceptable provision for penalty-free closure. However it's striking that Leeds BS currently offers higher interest rates than for the RS on its fixed rate bonds of 1 year, 15 months and 2 years tenor (1.20%, 1.30% and 1.50% respectively). So even for those who like saving with the Leeds and prefer to avoid Chase, this 1.10% variable rate is underwhelming.
Tempting as this sounds I'm not applying for this - it's not enough interest, I have enough RSs at a higher rate to keep me going. Thanks for posting though.

Chase you not is all I'd say to any RS paying than 1.5%
But then, I am fully equipped with a current smartphone and Government-issued photo ID.1
