    Mansfield's new rates shall be revealed by 22/8/23, let's hope they do something spectacular with their regular saver:


    What an odd remark from Mansfield:  "As interest rates continue to rise across the UK".  Almost like a weather report. True, lately they've been rising almost everywhere except seemingly the Mansfield area.

    Only 0.25% increase since 1st June, will be closing mine

    I can’t see the 8% Monmouthshire Regular Saver on MoneyFacts. Is there a link or any further details? Obvious questions being is it open to everyone or do you need continuous membership for a few years?

    I opened the Christmas regular saver last year and still not got online access. Been a mixture of unable to make contact over the phone, and when I did I found there is an issue with my profile and their IT team are looking into it.

    All it says on moneyfacts is that it is open to existing members:


    So by the looks of things anyone who has a Monmouthshire BS account now should be able to get it.

    EDIT: to get this on moneyfacts go to the normal regular saver page then click "Full Search" and selsct "Yes" to "Show existing customer accounts".

    Or applied for an account before they launch it tomorrow, hence why I applied for the easy saver today, just in case.

    You usually need to click ‘full search’ and then filter for existing member accounts.

    I suppose it depends whether they use the date you applied, or the date the account was opened. Regardless, I hope that works for you and you can get the account.

    Is this a MoneyFacts ‘feature’ or am I doing something wrong?

    If I do a search for the best Regular Savers I see the Monmouthshire 7% (and others) but not the 8%

    If I change the search settings to include full search and existing member accounts I see the Monmouthshire 8% but not the 7% anymore.

    Thanks to the guidance from others here I have ended up seeing both. But seems a disjointed.
