My SRBS online is finally open. Took 5 working days. No sign of the RS yet, though I expect it will show in the morning. No sign of the passbook yet, either. But 2.5%, and and open-ended RS with limited withdrawal options sounds relatively attractive0

That's a blow, I closed mine three weeks agocreditavenger said:A little bird told me that from 1st Sept Furness BS are raising the rate on their (no longer available) 3yr Reg Svr to 2.2% (from currently 1.7%) .
So it may be worth holding on to it, if you were tempted to dump it in light of recently increasing instant access rates.I choose the rooms that I live in with care,

I rang them today to be told due to the amount of interest in this account it was taking longer to sort, up to a week.Daliah said:My SRBS online is finally open. Took 5 working days.

According to moneyfacts, Beehive Money will be launching a Home Starter Regular Saver at 2.5%. It allows you to put in between £1 and £500/mth, matures on 31/10/2023 and is app only. From what I can gather it doesn't allow early withdrawals or early closure but you can skip payments.2

I find it difficult to get excited about regular saver accounts paying around 2.5% which provide the saver with an extra £30 quid at the end of the year.2

I do if they're instant access. More so if they're open ended. The Beehive/NottsBS one doesn't excite me in the slightest.1
