    Forness 3 year regular saver (no longer available)
    Received letter today confirming that they have been so good as to increased interest from 2.2% to 2.5%; disgraceful.
    Presently my medium interest on my regular savers is 3.6%. The number of my regular savers have been halved in the last 6 months, even after opening the 4 Lloyds group regular savers.
    I'm expcting soon to start closing any regular savers that pay 2.5%.
    Edit Sorry I am neither Welsh nor German!
    When you say the 4 Lloyds group regular savers, what do you mean please? I have the Bank of Scotland, Halifax and Lloyds ones all at 4.5%, but if there is a 4th available I'd certainly like to look at opening it. Thank you
    If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

    Lloyds do two - Club Lloyds RS (at 5.25%) and the standard RS (at 4.5%)

    If you are a Club Lloyds member you can have both.

    A German can be an English resident then?


    Works in this household for an American national to be a British resident in England. Usually calls for another form to be filled in when applying for BS or bank account, regular or RS but that is all.

    Section62   that is two - and your post said "my" ... "4".  That was the issue.

    Once again, you have me totally lost. Looks clear to me, both the Lloyds ones and BOS and Halifax. Unless I am missing something.

    Lloyds Group

    1) Lloyds RS 4.5%
    2) Club Lloyds RS 5.25%
    3) BOS RS 4.5%
    4) Halifax RS 4.5%

    There are 4 1 year regular savers that can be opened through Lloyds Banking group, which comprises Halifax, bank of Scotland and Lloyds. As I am currently ineligible for the club Lloyds one, I’d semi-forgotten about it - hence I’ve got 3 of the 4. Thanks everyone for reminding me.

    Hoping to see some good new regular saver rates after tomorrows base rate increase!

    According to Moneyfacts, Principality Building Society will be launching their Christmas 2023 Regular Saver Bond, paying 5.00%

    Pay in between £1 - £125 per month.  The maximum account balance (not including interest) is £1,500. 

    The account has a 1 year term.  Withdrawals are NOT permitted before maturity.

    The account can be opened online or in branch.

    https://www.principality.co.uk/en/savings-accounts/Regular-Saver  

    Withdrawals are NOT permitted before maturity.

    I guess, if like the 1 year regular saver bond, you can still close the account without taking a penalty.
