    If anyone lives near a Newcastle Building Society branch they have launched a reg saver. Fixed until September next year, paying 2% on up to £200 per month. Can only be opened in branch though. 
    Any idea where the terms and conditions for old accounts can be found?

    Don't know where to get t&c, but all the Newcastle BS regular savers have a 2% interest rate and a limit of £200 per month. If you opened one early enough you can make a thirteenth payment. Think you can withdraw money early without penalty.

    That’s not a Regular Saver but a HTB ISA

    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?
    I'm hoping the hiatus is covid related - being (nominally) branch only I've got the distinct impression they don't want a stampede of customers arriving in person to open accounts.

    The notable launches by other building societies have typically been those where online/postal/phone applications are openly welcomed/required.  The Beehive offering fits that pattern, even if the interest rate isn't that notable now.

    Virgin have released their latest Homebuying Coach Regular Saver, issue 11, paying 1.75% for 14 months. 
    I got the first one but never liked using an account designed for homebuyers so I didn't get any of the subsequent issues.

    I do not understand why Virgin Money do appear to restrict eligibility without actually restricting eligibility. Why don't they just have a standard regular saver.

    That said, 1.75% doesn't appeal to me now.
