    Monmouthshire BS.  Has anyone who applied for their Christmas Saver Bond received anything from them yet (without having chased it)?
    I sent off for this and the Furness RS over ten days ago and still nothing.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    No news yet and my application form was sent off on the day they launched the Christmas Saver Bond with a 1st class stamp on it.

    Thanks both.  Just something else that's coming to a grinding halt these days 🙄

    I received a few letters on Monday that were posted 14 days earlier. At this rate it could quite easily be Christmas by the time we receive our passbooks.

    Don't know if it's already been mentioned but Hinkley & Rugby regular saver now pays 4.25%.
    Great rate, but unfortunately they do not provide prepaid envelopes for withdrawals which they stipulate must be via post. Not that convenient in this age of constant postal strikes :/
    If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

    I have a current regular saver with First Direct. Got a message yesterday to say that my interest is going up to 7%

    Things do still work these days, just not very well that's all.

    Monmouthshire - X-mas 2023 Saver Bond Issue 5

    Just spoke to them. "Inundated with applications and impacted by postal strikes. If not received  anything by 9th December, give them a call."
    So presumably those of us hoping they would process the first payment in last couple of days in November to allow second payment in early December will be disappointed….
