It might be that a new (or possibly the existing loyalty R S) is about to surface at 2.55%, c.f existing 2.05% for £50 to £500 per month.  Do we all have to go through the rigmarole of restarting the account?

I can't see this officially confirmed elsewhere on this thread, but Saffron have released Issue 11 of their Existing Members Regular Saver:

Saffron 12 Month Fixed Rate Members Regular Saver Issue 11 2.55%

https://www.saffronbs.co.uk/savings/regular-savings-accounts/12-month-fixed-rate-members-regular-saver-issue-11

If you have a previous issue of the Regular Saver, and are quick off the mark (i.e. phoning up or Secure Messaging today), you can request conversion from the older issue RS with lower interest rate to this new Issue 11 paying 2.55%

The account number and sort code can be preserved, with today's account balance plus interest (less £500) refunded to nominated account today. £500 can be kept in the converted account and classed as August's deposit, then the account can be funded tomorrow with Septermber's £500 deposit.

I wasn't able to call yesterday to do this, so went through secure message this morning. As when I updated the account in June, it was actioned swiftly and the money was all moved around within an hour or so

Saffron BS were very efficient responding to my secure message to open a new RS11. Balance plus interest of old RS10 moved into nominated account very quickly. Remember to extend your standing order to 1/8/23. You can amend the old SO easily rather than set up a new one, because there is no change in account details.

Thanks for the reminder about the SO - -  I had entirely forgotten about that!

Can anyone explain why Cynergy bank is missing from the best easy access savings rate table? They are offering 1.85% p.a. (including 1st year bonus of 0.15%). They were on the MSE table but have recently disappeared.
Also missing from the Savingschampoin web site.

If they can, I hope they dont do it here. This thread is meant to be about Regular Savings Accounts.  All the off topic stuff and chit chat makes the important posts harder to find.

It's probably because they're only offering the account to existing customers now.
