Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Sorry, yes concurrently

I can't see anything that says you can't this time so presume it's the same. I'll find out after breakfast

Edit: Skipped breakfast, both opened and showing in my list of accounts. One of the fastest account opening processes I remember doing, maybe a minute each. Well done Lloyds

I've opened this account, but I only opened the Lloyds RS accounts in September, so not eligible for those two as you can only open them every twelve months even if you close the existing ones. I'd already reduced the payments to £25 - have tried to close them as now not worth keeping them open, but system won't let me. Told me to try online or on a PC - I was!

I have closed mine with the "Renew savings account" function - renewed the regular savers to everyday savers, then withdrew my money.

I did this last week at BOS, Halifax and Lloyds, on accounts which were only 3 or 4 months old.

I have just now opened and funded the new account, with the new rates, at both BOS and Lloyds. The 12-months rule one the website is clearly not enforced by their systems

Thank you - I have now done the same

Have you perchance been able to do this for TSB?

I have gone through the renew process to transfer them to easy savers, the messages were that this was done but the accounts are still showing as regular savers.

Good stuff from Lloyds, I'm now wondering what to do with my First Direct RS @ 3.5%. I'm thinking I will reduce the standing order to £25 and focus on both Lloyds savers, as I don't have enough cash to make the most of them all.
Or should I just cancel the standing order? Perhaps even take the interest hit and withdraw it all, considering I opened the FD RS 2 months ago?

Last time I tried it at TSB, it didn't work. I never pursued it as their rates weren't enticing enough at the time.
