Is anyone else’s YBS make me an esaver interest showing in their accounts this morning please? Mine is reflecting in the balance, but not showing in the transaction list. It felt a bit odd given it matures on the 1st February, not today, and I’m kind of wondering if it will still be earning interest in the meantime

My interest isn't showing and I opened the account a year ago yesterday, 22 January 2022.

Furness BS 1 Year Regular Saver (Issue 5) going from 4% to 4.3% on Feb 1

May I ask where is the info about the change? I have the off sale 3 year account that currently is 2.9% and am making a decision on what to do with balance by the end of month.

The 3 year goes to 3.2% on the 1st. Both rises were reported here back in December and confirmation received via post today.

Whats the popular high interest savings account at the moment that gives you 5-7%

key points

- has a max of £300-£400 per month deposit - or no max?

- doesnt have penalties? or can skip month ?

- interest ? is it paid monthly ? or only annually in most products?

Best to stick to your existing thread on that subject, rather than asking questions like that on this one:

Yes, mine which also matures on the 1st is showing as per yours and is available for withdrawal bar £1.

I received this information by post this morning - surprised it wasn’t an email though tbh

It was highlighted on here a couple of weeks ago but was lost in the guff on here.

Confirmed by postal letters received today

Your off sale increases to 3.2

Darlington Building Society Regular Monthly Saver and Green Regular Saver updated this morning from 3.5% to 3.8%. Young Saver/teens RS's also uprated. 

Personally, I was hoping the Regular Monthly Saver would rise to 4% - but obviously it hasn't happened this time!

Closed Darlington Special Occasion Saver now also 3.8% and earlier closed High Days & Holidays RS accounts also increased from yesterday:

I'm baffled by their policy on this, but again, Loughborough BS has increased their rates and not increased the Regular Saver Issue 1. Seems to be a new rate sheet every couple of weeks!

Had three RS accounts with LBS until middle of last year, but it's been clear since then that their priorities changed and they are not looking to support/offer competitive RS. I'd go elsewhere if I were you.
