Monmouthshire's Exclusive Regular Saver (8%) appears to have disappeared from moneyfacts, suggesting it will soon go NLA. It's still on Monmouthshire's website for now so if you haven't yet applied it may be worth applying whilst you can.

I'd just applied before reading your post!  Having finally got everything set up for my non exclusive regular saver with the online activation key received today, I thought I would try my luck and hope for the best.

Indeed. Now, Saturday, it’s been dropped from the Monmouthshire website. The message is Regular Savers are ‘temporarily unavailable’ so what rate will the next Monmouthshire Regular offer?

Requirements

Must be an existing Monmouthshire Building Society Member with a savings account or mortgage. Your savings account must have at least £1 in it and your account must have had transactions within the last 24 months. Which means that you’ll need to have had your savings account since around 5 September 2021 to qualify.

This strikes me as a very odd interpretation.

This strikes me as just plain wrong, both in interpretation and practice. My Coronation RS, held since whenever the coronation happened, was deemed sufficient membership qualification for the Exclusive.

May just be overwhelmed with the whole thing and are putting the brakes on, or have all the business needed?

I don' know where the quote came from, as the T's&C's clearly state
"To be a qualifying customer you must:

• Be an existing savings customer (sole or joint) or a mortgage customer.
• Your savings account must have money in it.
• Your account needs to have transactions within the last 24 months."

There is nothing about the 5th September 2021 clarification.

A wrong interpretation by  'Be Clever With Your Cash'  However, moot point as NLA

MONMOUTHSHIRE EXCLUSIVE REGULAR SAVER

Yes - wrong interpretation by 'Be Clever With Your Cash'.*

I received an email from the Monmouthshire today stating:

'An account has been added to your Online Banking profile. Please log in to view the details'

so it looks like my application on 7 September on the back of my existing Christmas Saver Bond has been successful.

However, The ERS is not yet available to view in My Accounts, nor does its number appear in the Add Accounts drop-down box. I'm hopeful it will all be sorted in the next few days.

(*I've dropped a message flagging this on the 'Be Clever With Your Cash' Forum.)

I didn't even realise there was a drop down box - duh!  I just type in the number of the new account and it pops up pending

I don't have an account number yet, only the email saying the new account has been added to my Online Banking profile. Maybe it will work differently once everything is fully functional
