    It was possibly never table topping as Saffron BS launched a 9% loyalty regular saver at the same time. It is though limited to £50 per month.

    Makes you wonder why a bank/BS doesn't just claim the throne by launching a >100%< loyalty regular saver

    Maximum contributions capped at £1 per month. If you close the account before the end of the 12 month period, no interest will be payable. You won't be able to make partial withdrawals.
    Well, it is theoretically doable. Nothing to prevent them to launch a RSA paying 100% interest but you could only pay 1p a month for instance. Interested (?)  :# not me for sure

    Amazing! Just opened. Can you set up a standing order from one savings account to another?

    Really RS best buy tables should only list accounts with at least 200 quid a month being allowed. Yes, that should keep Natwest / RBS too out.

    You can pay a lot more than £200 a month into NatWest/RBS RS by using round ups

    Right but that's a sort of hack. You get my point though. RS league tables are only sensible if a minimal qualifying monthly amount is applicable.

    My account still says: "Current interest rate (gross)% ^ : A rate has not yet been applied"
    Opened yesterday morning and paid in £250 by debit card.
    Is this normal?
