Coventry increasing Regular Saver (5) to 5.50% on 18th September. 

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.

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.

Hi,

Thanks for that - good news.

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

Nottingham Building Society has launched a new regular saver, called 'UK Savings Week Regular Saver', paying 6.00%.

• The minimum opening deposit is £10.
• Save up to £250 per month.
• The maximum account balance is £3,250.
• The interest rate on this account is fixed.
• The account is available to open in branch only.
• No withdrawals permitted until the account matures.
• The account matures on the 30/09/2024.

Further details here.

6% fIxed , branch opening, no withdrawals/closure is definitely not a very enticing offer to me considering the base rate is likely to jump another 0.25% next week with a further rise anticipated by year end which will naturally push other RS/EA rates up.

Even the same Beehive online a/c wouldn't cut it for me. 

Notts If you're reading, it's far too restrictive at that rate ;-)

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

Cool I've opened one now too from the app, they must've added it on after I went to bed since it wasn't there at the time of my post

I think I'll hold fire anyway on Beehive for now. I have the June 23 iteration which I have paused funding at least until my Santander Edge saver is full.

However the T&Cs say 'Regular saver products are limited to one per customer.'

Do you think they mean one per issue or only one active per customer at any time? Another woolly statement.

I haven't added those xxx - they're in the email!

they literally don't mention Monmouthshire anywhere in the content, or give me the phone number to ring - I have it on one of the letters, but i'm not going to bother doing that as i've long given up on wanting to fund the account - so i've filled out their online form asking for the account to be closed.

whatever the future holds, I won't be wasting any time opening accounts with them again.

If it helps, I got the same message so I did ring yesterday - waited about 3 minutes and got through to a very helpful lady who promised to send the activation code by 1st class post.

Arrived this morning, and online now up and running.
