  • We haven't paid any money into any of the accounts yet. Should I move £1 in each of them and then register for online access while snail mail delivers the signature letters? Not too keen to move  2 x £300 into each reg saver without having any access or being able to withdraw again. Don't mind £1 for the Easy Saver. 

    Do the Reg Savers 12m term start from the first funding or from account opening and dates of the letter or once they received the forms with wet signature?

    Have had a nightmare with Monmouthshire myself.  As an existing account holder whose online access was blocked .  Requested but aited in vain for the activation code.  Finally got through to them on the phone and I regained online access.  As an afterthought asked them when the 12 mth term ran from date of opening or first deposit.  They said first deposit.  Confirmed in online portal with date of maturity 12mths after first deposit was made.

    Was going to stop funding this account, or maybe close it. Will continue now though as that's a big increase from 5.05%.

    There's an interest penalty (30 days) on withdrawals including closure, so the decision to keep/fund/close needs to factor that in.

    Hi,

    Thanks for that - good news.

    Where did you see that? (Coventry don't seem the best at notifying customers).

    I went on the Beehive Money website (since Nottingham BS are launching a new RS) and seems to be one launching soon from Beehive too.  They have a page for it but the rate is not decided yet, and can't be applied for yet either, but has a facility to enter your name and email address to get a reminder when they do make it available:

    https://www.beehivemoney.co.uk/savings/regular-saver/

    I guess it's launching soon as well since that page has some details on it including the fact it will mature on 30th September 2024, so I imagine it will be out in the next week or two.
    6% same as Nottingham above

    I found it and opened it by logging on to my Beehive account, new products show there.
