    Would be surprised (but definitely not opposed) if FD increases the rate on the Regular Saver.  However their sister bank, HSBC, are the ones who absolutely should be increasing their RS.  Would be amazing if they did similar to what Natwest/RBS or Halifax/BoS do (essentially having the same products) and then we get two 7% Regular Savers :grin:

    I know this has come up before but I cannot find it by searching, how do I close a Lloyds monthly saver and Club saver?  It does not seem possible to do it through the app.

    I opened both accounts when the rate was 4.5% and 5.5% respectively and would like to close and open new accounts which have the increased rate.

    Renew into an easy saver, empty and you can close from there. I've not done it in the app before but this definitely works in online banking.

    Only worth doing if you're less than 3 months in if I remember corectly from all the tables and calculations posted.

    As others rightly say, it's online banking only. Go to other actions, bottom one is renew account.

    Mine are 8 months in. Lloyds and BoS ones will go if my YBS Loyalty 6 Saver hits 4.5% else will continue to run until maturity in October. Club Lloyds will survive for definite.

    Thanks for the info, I will try on online banking.  

    I think the under three months thing may be different now that we have had a rate increase and anyway, I have a new home for the funds.

    The renew into easy saver in online banking worked, thanks very much for the info.

    I have done that with the 4.5% account, I might leave the Club 5.5% to run.
