I've just took most of my cash out of my 3 SOS accounts, for me the rate would need to be 3% or more to bother with.JamesPeter said:JamesRobinson48 said:Darlington BS has increased the rate on its Green RS from 2.10% to 2.25%, effective yesterday I think. I am overwhelmed.Yes, also the Darlington 'young saver' and teen regular savers upto 3.5% (from 3.05%)However no increase to their new regular monthly saver (or previous Special Occasion Saver) yet.Unless, as last month, they are updating their website in stages.I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,

And the rate for the Darlington 'Young Saver' and 'Teen' Regular savers has just dropped to 3.3% according to their website!It looks like they are currently in the prcoess of fiddling about with interest rates on the website!1

Rates constantly changing, the only thing i am not happy with the 2.75% Santander esaver account is that it is variable.

Just spoken with them now and they have confirmed 3.5% was a mistype, and the rates on both are 3.3%. They have also confirmed the special occasion saver rate and JISA rate will not be going up todayJamesPeter said:And the rate for the Darlington 'Young Saver' and 'Teen' Regular savers has just dropped to 3.3% according to their website!It looks like they are currently in the prcoess of fiddling about with interest rates on the website!If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

Principality - I've got 2 regular savers at 1.05%, can I close these and still get the interest?
I want to open the latest 3.25% account, can I transfer one of the above into this or could I only do this if I'm at maturity?0 -
You certainly can, and should, close the old RS accounts paying peanuts.liamcov said:Principality - I've got 2 regular savers at 1.05%, can I close these and still get the interest?

Principality's IT is archaic. Any attempt to move money between accounts or close accounts is done by secure message, and needs to be received before 3:30pm.
Based on my experience yesterday closing Issue 29, I would recommend
1) Open Issue 30
2) Fund it by Faster Payment once it is open
3) Put in your requests to close the old issues and transfer the money out.

No, these are 1 year bonds and you can't reinvest the balance into another regular saver - even at maturity. You'll have to close the old regular savers and start again with the new one.liamcov said:
