Has anyone tried posting in a form for the Melton BS RS despite not living in the catchment area please? And were you successful? After my luck with MonBS, I'm wondering if it is worth a try

I live less than 10 miles outside the catchment area so this one has been annoying me for a while.

I would give it a bash but the main snag is that I can't seem to find the relevant application form. Melton BS's application forms are all product specific by the looks of things, unlike Monmouthshire, and they don't appear to have put the regular saver application form online so the only way I'd be able to do it is by editing one of their existing application forms and hoping for the best. 

I may do a spot of experimentation with a pdf editor and see what I come up with though there's certainly no guarantees.

I live in Nottingham, so AM in the catchment area, though a long way from Melton. I couldn't find anywhere to download the application form, so rang them. The CSA  (customer service advisor) said there was no downloadable application form and no postal applications, so opening would require a personal branch visit. I gave up on Melton after that.  Though as always, your experience with a different CSA may vary from mine.

I certainly haven't been hacked at all, just rudely woken up by a rather impertinent wasp that had flown in and made its feelings about me known.

You certainly have my sympathy regarding Saffron though. I couldn't believe it when I saw 9% albeit on £50/mth max.

Can you still see them?
I can see the YBS regular saver @4.5% but can't see the Skipton or Saffron regular savers, either on Moneyfacts or their own websites

The Skipton account has a very low barrier of entry for such a high rate of interest, and early access (through closure only) is permitted without penalty. I may actually visit my local branch to open this, unless the process is easier over the telephone.

Cheers @ForumUser7, I didn't even know "existing customers accounts" was a filter.
