    How easy is it to close the Halifax RS? There doesn’t seem much point in keeping it at 4.5% when you can get easy access at 5%. 

    If I message them on the app how long will it take them to close it?
    Don't close it directly. Your best bet is to log into online banking and renew it into an EA account, then close it from there (takes very little time at all). Plus due to a quirk in LBG's technical systems you should then be able to open a new regular saver at 5.5%.

    does this work for all LBG regular savers?  all my BOS, Halifax, Loyds regular savers are below what the new ones are.
    If you "renew" it to an Easy Access account do you get the interest straight away or still at the end of what would have been the 12 months?  thanks

    Penrith
    By way of a timely coincidence a recent issue of my local paper carries an article with the headline "Stockport is named Greater Manchester's Town of Culture'. The SK postcode covers a wide area with some of them (the Heatons in particular) abutting Manchester suburbs.
    Liverpool/Merseyside is in the same situation as Manchester/Greater Manchester and it would be unusual for Merseyside to be acceptable and GM not, with Merseyside situated in the depths of Lancashire and Manchester on the perimeter.  
    I was born in Manchester (pre GM) and consider myself very much a Lancashire lad. Lancashire's county cricket side plays in Manchester. Disregarding the technicalities most people off the cuff would regard Liverpool and Manchester as being in Lancashire.
    It depends how strict Penrith are but I think it's worth a punt. I'm SK and will report back.

    The current Regular Saver rises from 3.85% to 4.1% on 1/9/23 but those of us (stealth brag?) in the NLA Regular Saver Locals rise from 4.25% up to 4.5%. Still nowhere near class leading but every little helps.
