    Santander has an RS paying 5.00% fixed (12 months, max £200 pm).  I haven't seen it on here so I imagine it might be new today.  Seems like a big improvement on their previous RS rate.

    Must have a Santander current account to open it.

    Thanks for this. It's been a long time since I stopped "RSing" with Santander. Their RS offers were rubbish in the past few years. This one is good, doesn't require to have 123 or Edge, very straight forward.

    Now I just need a new switching campaign so I can open a current account. Missed out on the one earlier in the year not kind of not want to waste the opportunity by opening a current account with them without switching incentive.

    The last 3 switching offers have been available to existing customers too, albeit requiring a branch visit.

    Does anyone have a Santander RS without first having a First Direct (FD) and/or club Lloyd's RS. If yes, any particular reason(s) for this?, Considering FD and club Lloyd's RS's are both higher interest

    I don't hold the FD regular saver because I'm holding out till I'm eligible for the FD switching incentive first and also their app isn't compatible with my smartphone. If they launch a switching incentive I'm eligible for that pays more than or not much less than the cost of a compatible phone I shall grab the regular saver and the switching incentive.

    Lloyds are closing all my accounts on Friday so I won't be able to hold the Club Lloyds regular saver for this reason.

    Thus from Friday I will hold the Santander regular saver but not the FD or Lloyds regular savers.

    I hold all 3, but someone may not want the FD one if they may need to access the funds, and don't wish to incur a large penalty. Also, some may wish to open a savings account with their own bank rather than opening a 2nd current account. Although lots of forumites, myself included, have many current accounts with many providers
