  • The Furness regular saver is not new, it is issue 5 which I took out in November when it was paying 4%, they have just increased the rate to remain competitive.

    It’s a rate increase though - Furness increased at the start of this month I believe, and was already posted. No one else had posted the Leek increase

    EDIT: Yes, it will ‘only’ pay 4%, but it is better than Furness imo as it has a larger deposit allowance (£500 rather than £250), allows more withdrawals without closure, allows months to go by with no deposits, and appears to be open ended.

    It’s just a shame it’s a local/loyal product only at this stage, as I’ve not been with Leek BS long enough quite yet

    If you’re on a desktop (it doesn’t seem to have the option on my mobile app), you can select page 1 - @Special_Saver2 has a run down of all the different rates and accounts above a certain threshold there, which is usually maintained on a weekly basis

    Or in branch. 
    As the majority of people in the UK don't live in Cumbria (6 Branches) or Lancashire (3 Branches) that's why i said only by post

    Did you not read the screed because its says Can Furness Building Society
    Does not have nationwide branch coverage Total of 9 branches Cumbria & Lancashire perhaps a midweek break would be needed.
