    Not impressive at all. The 1 October rate rise was in response to the August BoE rate announcement, and that wasn't by the full amount of the rise either, just like this one.


    I guess it depends on the rate we are referring too. I was referring to the 16-25 Regular Saver, which I hold. Perhaps I should've specified this. It would be great if it went up by the full base rate each time, but it is not a base rate tracker so cannot be expected. Regardless, this is the highest paying account I hold, and I'm always impressed by the rate on this particular product.

    Thanks @James87 for posting about the new Santander Instant Access Savings Account at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/79546367/#Comment_79546367

    2.75% with a monthly interest option.

    I'm in the process of closing 4 of my regular savers and transferring funds to Santander.  This simplifies things somewhat.

    Re the Nationwide Flex Regular Saver / Start to Save 2 - can I take money out and replace it in the same month or don't they work that way?

    My interpretation is yes.

    "You can increase your balance by up to £50 each Calendar Month."

    "if you do withdraw money you may need to repay all or some of it back in during the same Calendar Month to be eligible for the prize draw"

  • Question; are you able to hold a Digital Regular Saver with Natwest and also RBS?  I'm guessing you can hold one with both, but just double checking!

    Anyone else trying to close the Halifax Regular Saver?

    I couldn't see a way to close the account on line, but you can "renew" the account to an everyday saver, and then transfer all the funds to your current account.

    You can close it on line under 'account services' - balance must be <£5 so w/d down to that first.
