    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.

    You can't get all the regular savers listed on one page as far as I'm aware but it is pretty quick to flick between the two pages.

    Also whilst we're on the subject of moneyfacts's regular saver listings you sometimes have to change the investment amounts to see different regular savers. E.g. the Leeds BS Regular Saver Issue 43 will not show on moneyfacts if you set the investment amount to less than £100 and the Saffron Small Saver will not show if you set the investment amount to over £50 due to their initial and monthly deposit limits.

    It's the MonBS AGM today, maybe they're planning a big onstage reveal with fanfares and glitter cannon......

    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 did your application go? I applied after cob yesterday but haven’t heard anything as yet, again applied for the easy saver to have an account. Manual ID checks?

    Successful? Application for the Exclusive but now the link doesn't work and it's disappeared from the website.

    Similar for the normal RS
