Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Just filled in the application form for H&R’s 30 Day Notice Regular Saver.

It says I have to enclose a cheque - only problem is I don’t possess one.

Can I just send the completed application form back and transfer funds into the account (once they open it)?

That's what I did. I made a note on application form to say I would pay by bank transfer once account is opened. All worked OK.

I’ve just realised that this month’s prize draw was the last one for the YBS make me a saver account so I’ve just gone and cancelled my standing order accordingly. Not a single prize won 👎.

Has anyone drained their account / closed it yet? Is it worth keeping open?

The account must be opened in branch or via the post.  Once opened the account can be managed online, via the branch or post.  

They will also be launching their Christmas 2023 Regular E-Saver, which will be available to open and operate online.

Thanks Kazza - does anyone know if they’ve offered an internet application version before please? Just surprised YBS is offering this account as branch/post only

When they launched the family saver account back in July, I seem to recall that was branch/post opening. Then about a week or two later they released an online only version with identical Ts&Cs. I suspect they do this to avoid being swamped with too many applications in case demand is higher than expected, as Monmouthshire were not too long ago.

Either way I will be going into branch on Monday to open the one day account so will see if I can open the regular saver whilst I'm at it.
