Coventry Building Society rate rises from 1st July:

Regular Saver (5) - 1.80%
First Home Saver - 1.65%

The loss of interest on withdrawals restriction on Coventry RS5 means I will not use it, although to be fair, Coventry have increased the variable interest rate due to the Bank of England base rate increases.

The First Home Saver however is easy access and allows £1000 monthly deposits for 36 months and Coventry will probably increase the variable interest rate in the future. However the 1.65% interest rate isn`t very exciting.

No it is not but it is higher than Virgin with easy access so worth switching some if your a real rate tart.

SRBS

I have checked on t'interweb and there is no longer any mention of post code restrictions on this regular saver. I also see that each member may have 1 solo account and also 1 joint account.

ESBS

There is no longer any post code restriction now showing for this regular saver on their website.

Probably 'cos the rate (IIRC 1.30 %) is relatively, er, rubbish.
Not sure re esbs, but SRBS'sRS is passbook based - so have to post or in branch to make a w/d.

ESBS RS account is also passbook based

2. No Time Limit / Account Maturity Date

Principality BS Learner Earner Issue 3 (Adult with a Child)

Interest rate: 2.75% gross p.a. variable from 1st March 2022
Monthly payment: £0-£250
Miss any payments: Can miss as many payments as you wish
Penalty-free withdrawals: Three withdrawals permitted and account closure counts as a withdrawal
Age of applicant: Up to 17 years old
How to open account: Branch only
Special conditions: This Account can only be opened by an Adult(s) aged over 18, in conjunction with a Child aged under 18. Two accounts must be opened initially, one for the Adult(s) and one for the Child. Subsequent accounts for other children can be opened by the Adult account holder. The Adult must be the parent, grandparent, close relative or legal guardian of the Child(ren). Accounts opened for under 14’s must be opened on a signatory basis. Careful_ly has informed us in post 2692 in this thread that both the adult and the child get a regular savings account.

Does anyone know if deposits into the children's accounts have to be made in branch, or if they can be by standing order or faster payments? How about the adults' accounts? I ask because, while getting to a branch to open the accounts is not an issue as we can do it whilst visiting family, I don't want to have to travel to make the deposits each month.

Many thanks!

I can confirm payments can be made by standing order and faster payments to both the adult and children's accounts.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question or covered elsewhere (I did a forum search but nothing obvious). 

Re the Natwest Digital Regular saver.  As you can withdraw at any time, and there is no account time limit, I assume that you can just keep the account at £1k constantly and take the 3.25% interest on that full amount all year?  Ie, when my next SO goes in and I hit £1k, I can just immediately take out all but £1k (maybe a bit less to allow for interest payments), and keep doing that each month, so the account is always £1k (including interest)?

Yes, leave the balance at £1K and withdraw the interest when it's paid each month.

There's no need to keep paying in once the account reaches £1k, is there? Just keep earning the 3% and remove any interest each month.
