    Saffron BS Member RS -> 4.50%

    Website and app not yet reflecting, but I believe it is likely the existing variable rate issue currently paying 4.35%

    Confirmed in online banking.

    Saffron BS MRS has gone up to 4.5% and thank goodness they changed the interest rate to variable such that you don`t have to go through that palava of closing old MRS and opening new one in order to gain the higher interest rate of a new issue.

    I only have Small Saver with Saffron. I was going to close and open again, looked at my app and the account name changed from "issue 7" to "variable" displaying the new 4.8% rate.  Good news that they simplified it!

    With the HSBC Regular Saver, can you cancel the standing order completely if you don't want to pay into it in a particular month?

    According to T&C you have to pay minimum £25 a month.  I didn't see anywhere saying that you can miss a month.  I wouldn't try it, they might close your account and you'll get "flexible saver" rate.  You can change your standing order to £25 though or probably cancel it and pay in manually.

    Just in the nick of time, I was going to post them my passbook requesting that they empty the account tomorrow. It appears they've saved me a trip to the post office.

    So they reduced from 4.50% to 4,25% on 5th May and probably had a number of account closures and now back to 4.50% on 9th June. The mind boggles !
