Hi @pantaiema ...

I just opened digital Regular Saver with NatWest. I have not seen this account in my online banking where I have my current ac. Will it be shown later or I need to do something to be shown on my online banking. 
Also is it possible to divert the SO from external account? Thanks

... it takes a couple of days (been there)  .

It takes a day or two to appear. And yes, you can fund it from an external account or SO and hence cancel the SO they created in your NatWest current account.

Trying to switch to the latest Saffron reg saver - the secure message keeps getting an error, it's been like that for a few days, anyone else had the same?

Try giving them a ring, it's a free phone number so won't cost anything.  They are very friendly....

As above. Give them a ring. Typically waiting time and on the queu is less than 5min
 Another 5 minutes to switch to the new rate.

Speaking of Saffron, I've recently opened an easy access account with them so that in a year I'll be eligible for the regular saver. 

Can anyone think of any other places I should be opening an account now, to be eligible for similar perks in the future?

Thanks!

Cambridge BS, YBS, Coventry BS, Monmouthshire BS, Principality BS - -  more or less every BS. Also local ones with Post Code restrictions, should you be lucky enough to live in their areas.

Possibly Skipton too - they had an existing member RS in 2021 I think - but you only had to be a member since a week or so before it was released

Darlington BS, Market Harborough BS, Mansfield BS. I would open pretty much any EA account with a minimum balance of £1 that pays a decentish rate of interest, paying particular attention to ones that track the BOE base rate just in case the rate shoots up after it's been withdrawn. Also accounts that let you pay in by DD are good ones to get hold of.

It may be worth opening an account with your local credit union just in case.
