    I understand with some regular savers it is compulsory to pay in every month, HSBC RS is £25month min
    I dont think its necessary to pay into Coventry RS every month though, if i needed to skip a month it would be ok?
    I'm trying to give highest interest RS's priority

    Darlington Building Society:
    I couldn't see this posted already (?), but the Darlington BS Regular Monthly Saver has increased from 4.00% to 4.25%.
    No increase on the now closed Special Occasion Saver etc nor the youngsters RS Accounts


    I suspect increases on those NLA accounts will appear over the course of this morning. The same goes for the NLA green regular saver.
    Not always happened, as the High Days RS used to be the same as the Special Occasions, but has now fallen back.

    But this time, the Special Occasions has gone up to 4.25 when I logged in this morning. They haven't udated the closed issue rates page yet though.

    Important re Furness BS (some of us on here hold RSs with them). Beware of scams ~ https://www.furnessbs.co.uk/service-update?_its=JTdCJTIydmlkJTIyJTNBJTIyOTgyYTNhNzItNDNkMC00MjBlLWFkYWQtODZlNzM4ZmY4YWY3JTIyJTJDJTIyc3RhdGUlMjIlM0ElMjJybHR%2BMTY4NTcxMDY1OX5sYW5kfjJfMjA3MzI0X2RpcmVjdF83Yjk3ZTc3ZmE5NDcwNDEyNzcxNWFlMWMyZjNiNjY3YiUyMiU3RA%3D%3D

    Message for our members

    It's come to our attention that some members are receiving calls from phone numbers that appear to belong to Furness Building Society. These calls play a pre-recorded message suggesting there’s a problem with the recipient's account, or similar issues.

    We want to assure our members that we’d never contact them in this manner. 

    This type of fraudulent activity is known as ‘spoofing’. Scammers manipulate their Caller ID to appear as if they’re calling from a legitimate company to steal personal and/or financial information.

    Unfortunately, despite restrictions in place in the UK to prevent spoofing, these attacks can originate from anywhere in the world. As a result, we’re unable to prevent it from happening. We advise our members to be cautious if they receive a suspicious call.


    Protect yourself from spoofing


    To keep your personal information safe, never share it during incoming phone calls, and don't rely on Caller ID alone for identification.

    If someone asks for personal information, hang up. If in doubt, contact us using the number on your official Furness account statement, or via our contact us page, to confirm if the call was genuine. Wait at least five minutes before calling, or use a different phone, to ensure the call has disconnected.

    Reporting spoofing scams

    Our team has reported this activity to ActionFraud and Ofcom. If you receive a call with a suspicious message from Furness Building Society, please hang up right away and report the incident via the ActionFraud website.

    For more information about protecting yourself from fraudsters, take a look at our fraud prevention guide.

    Beverley BS 'As of 14th June we will be increasing the rates of our Variable Interest Accounts'. ~ https://beverleybs.co.uk/savings/savings-rates/

    New rates not confirmed yet, but feels like the monthly saver will increase.

    One way you can get the best of both worlds is to deposit some money by debit card into a Skipton EA account 2 working days before the end of the month and manually transfer it over to the regular saver on 1st.
    Wouldn't leaving debit card transaction to so late in month be risky, for remaining customers? Not only could the account debit cross into the following calendar month, but in any case there wouldn't be time for the reward tracker to do its job of reasurring on eligibility.

    Has anyone been able to open one of the Skipton Regular Savers and fund it from another Skipton account?  I've opened the RS, as I have both an Easy Access Saver and a Base Rate Tracker - and the RS terms say you can transfer from another Skipton account as long as there aren't restrictions in doing so on that other Skipton account.  I didn't think there would be on the EA especially - but the app will only let me move funds between those two accounts.

    I've tried doing it both ways - from the EA, to transfer out to another account (only BRT listed) and from the RS to fund it from another Skipton account.  If I have to fund it from a current account it will totally defeat the object for me, as the funds are in the EA account, as they're paid there monthly from a fix.
    @BooJewels

    You can fund from another Skipton savings account. You can do it from the app once it is open, so you need to put in £250 first, or you can do the initial payment on your online account. 
    I couldn't see the option but my account is open today and it is there now.
