  • 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.
    Hmmmm, interesting, I'd put a note in my diary to call them on the 1st to see if an increase was likely. No increase = dump, Increase to 2.2 = stay.

    Can confirm above is true re: Furness 3 year reg saver. Will be 2.2% from 1st Sept.

    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 attractive

    Their system reminds me of Monmouthshire.

    That's a blow, I closed mine three weeks ago
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    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.

    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.
  • 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.

    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.
