    As posted in another thread, yes. In fact I would do this as the Triple Access allows access to the funds if needed (which I think you said you might) but if you need the money from the Healthy Habits you have to close early and lose the 6% fixed rate.

    Fund both if you have sufficient spare cash to do so and use the Triple Access if the need for funds arises.

    You can have 1 of each issue regular savings wise with Principality.

    I have their 2yr Healthy Habits @ 6%, issue 33 @ 5.5% & the new 1yr @ 6%, in the past I've held other regulars with Principality at same time but did have to close them early due to better accounts being around etc

    The advantage of 'Healthy' over 'Triple' is that the rate is fixed for 2 years.

    Principality Building Society. Based in Wales, but you don't have to live there to open an account.
