Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Bridlington1

Just a reminder that there are a few regular savers that are upping their rates from today:

Bath BS 16-25 Regular Saver rises from 7.29% to 7.49%

Bath BS Homestart Regular Saver rises from 4.69% to 4.89% 

Bath BS Regular Saver rises from 4.19% to 4.39%
Buckinghamshire BS Regular Saver rises from 3.85% to 4.10%
Darlington Regular Saver, Green Regular Saver (NLA) and Special Occasion Saver (NLA) rises from 4.5% to 4.6%

Mansfield BS Regular Saver and Regular eSaver rises from 4.25% to 4.5%

Most aren't very competitive but it may be of use for those who have these accounts.

Anyone with the NLA Buckinghamshire Locals Regular Saver does slightly better with their rate rising to 4.5%

The Lord of Monmouthshire, Chapter 43

Tried opening an Exclusive Saver alongside the EA and RS last Wednesday. Signatory forms for the latter arrived on Saturday and Tuesday. Passbook for the Exclusive Saver arrived today! No signatory form, no issue with not being an existing customer!

Bemused but happy!

My advice to those interested in the Exclusive Saver who aren't existing customers: just apply for an EA and then apply for the Exclusive Saver, and be prepared for an odd experience....

Leeds Regular Saver Issue 43 has now been replaced by Issue 44 at the same rate (5.25%), maturing on 1/9/25.

"You are only allowed one account per customer including joint accounts. You may only hold one Leeds Building Society Regular Saver product at a time. If a second Regular Saver account is opened all the money in the second account will be transferred to the current instant access account available to new customers."

A sideline enquiry involving MonBS but probably relevant elsewhere.

I now have 3 MonBS regular savers. To fund them by Faster Payment each month I would ideally like to set up 3 payees with my normal feeder current account that differ only in the Reference (the BS account number).

RBS don't allow Payee/Account No/Sort Code dups. 
Chase don't hold the reference between payments but do allow dups.

I don't want to be entering/amending the reference each month 3 times, too much potential for typos and subsequent grief.

Anyone suggest a solution or another bank that allows this duplication (I have a few others).

Lloyds (and I'd presume BoS and Halifax).

I've held a number of Leeds RS at the same time - I think at one point issue 38, 39 and 40 until I closed them in July.

Thanks all, I've got most of those. I'll get on it, saved me a bunch of trial'n'error.
