I'm looking to withdraw a lump sum from my Stafford Railway BS Regular Saver in order to fund a fixed rate bond. I can't presently access my online SRBS account (no text message with authentication code arriving). Can anyone advise if funds can be withdrawn by online instruction or does passbook have to be sent in by post? Thanks.

If you have registered a nominated account then  withdrawals can be made via faster payment, but this can only be actioned by sending in your passbook along with a withdrawal request form by post.

If you haven't registered a nominated account then they will post a cheque to you upon receipt of the passbook and withdrawal form.

You can download the form to nominate your current account from their website. They still need the passbook and withdrawal form sent in. Very faffy!

It's the next Nationwide Start to Save prize draw tomorrow. May I wish all those on here who are entered into it the very best of luck.

How do they notify winners?

By email. They always notify our family that they have lost! and knowing the odds I have never done the lottery!

There is now an option to received a telephone call to get your authentication code instead of by text.

Text don't work for me.

Just applied for their very uncompetitive easy saver just in case they make the accounts only available to those having been a customer before the product launched as I am sure they will get swamped with applications again. Tried to avoid them after their Christmas Saver chaos last Christmas.

Sadly, they are still one of those with IT from the past decade and the account isn't opened straight away and they have to send stuff by snail mail. Going on holiday on Friday for 2.5 weeks won't help either

How do you receive this info from Moneyfacts? I do get Savers Friend and Weekend Moneyfacts, both weekly, but you seem to get an early heads up.

You won't be able to get the easy saver opened before tomorrow unless it was done in branch today. Opening the easy saver isn't a complete waste of time though, they usually ask for a wet signature for each account you open with them, each form arrives separately and each with a prepaid envelope. It may be worth waiting until you have signature forms for all the accounts you are opening and sending them all in one envelope in order to give yourself some spare prepaid envelopes in case they launch a regular saver that officially can only be opened in branch but in practice can be opened by post as well (not as if that's happened before).

It's on the website when you look for reg savers and if you select member accounts only in the search criteria the 8% reg saver comes up
