Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Special_Saver2

Hi Folks,

I have changed the following items on page 1 of this thread for this weekend's update.

- Melton BS Regular Saver (Issue 1) removed as withdrawn
- Coventry BS Regular Saver (Issue 5) interest rate updated to 1.65% from 1st June
- Coventry BS First Home Saver added to page 1; paying 1.5% interest from 1st June on up to £1,000 per month for 36 months and the terms and conditions seem good with no penalties for missing payments or withdrawals from what I can see plus a £500 payment if you decide to take out a mortgage with Coventry BS

I will be reviewing the interest rates that I use for the cut off for inclusion in page 1 of this thread but I would like to see what happens to interest rates following the latest Bank of England interest rate rise first.

I will do the next update next weekend.

Can anyone advise how many payments you can make into a Lloyd's Regular saver? Currently at 12 but the anniversary isn't until late June. 
Thank you

I regularly made 13, when they still paid decent interest. Nowadays, I would put my money elsewhere.

Thank you. I won't be renewing my RS with Lloyds

Assuming it pays 1% there is nothing stopping you closing it before June. You can probably get a better rate elsewhere.

For the sake of a month I'll leave it where it is for now. But I'll be spending that time researching how best to put around £10k away for the coming year

Chase or Shawbrooks 6 month 2% fixed. I personally wouldn't fix for any longer with base rates rising on a monthly basis.

Haven’t seen it mentioned, but Beehive Savings, the online brand of Nottingham Building Society seemed to have entered the regular savings game.

For those interested their ‘Moneypot Regular Saver’ pays 1.20% fixed on up to £500 p/m. Allows multiple deposits, but no withdrawals until April next year. Can be opened using their app.

Maybe one to watch for the future as rate can be beaten on easy access at the moment

1.2% is a pretty unexciting rate if you can get up to 1.5% instant access

1.2% is 6th in the ToTP easy access listing.. The Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area - Page 558 — MoneySavingExpert Forum

But the Nottingham BS did have some good RSs a few years ago... maybe they'll come back?
