Applied and successful. Account is not shown on App yet. COP works but test FP from Lloyds rejected. Weird. 

I've opened one too - it usually takes a day before for the account to activate before you can make first deposit.

Ulster Bank  Limited Edition Saver Account 4.50%; £5k Min For Rate; (01/10)

including a 2.75% fixed bonus for a year.

@soulsaver - I had a long online chat with the Applications manager at Ulster and they confirmed that it is a requirement to have a current account with Ulster in order to open this savings account - as it was originally for their Loyalty Saver too.

Our processing team has confirmed that it is mandatory to have a current account in order to apply for the Limited Edition Saver Account.

they said they will be updating the website to reflect this - I mentioned it being listed on Moneyfacts and that they may be getting a lot of enquiries about this account!

I tried to open one, it said no because I don't have an Ulster Bank current account

"To open a Limited Edition Saver you must be a current account customer"

EDIT: So I tried to open a current account, I got the error "Sorry, it looks like you don't have access to this page"!

EDIT2: Tried again, this time success "Thank you for applying for a Select account. We’ve got your application and it may take up to 2 working days for us to be in touch."

I had a current account with them at one time. They tend to be in the Monmouth BS league - a bit slow but get there in the end.

Good to see Ulster back with a competitive savings account and with no withdrawal restrictions.
Unlike their Loyalty Saver, this limited edition saver pays monthly interest.

Hopefully will see the competition increasing their rates.🤔

As soon as you click that you don't already have an Ulster current account it tells you that you can't proceed without one, even though the other information says you don't even need to be an existing customer.

I wasn't able to complete the current account application on the website, it just didn't go anywhere after the first couple of clicks. I was able apply on the app but have not yet received a confirmation email.

So do we need to apply for a CA first online, and then wait for those details to come through, before filling out the form for the savings account?

Yes, it is not possible to fill out the online form for the SA without a CA

Do I need to be an existing customer to open a Limited Edition Saver account? 

No, you don't need to be an existing customer to open a Limited Edition Saver account. But it’s best to compare all your options when looking for a high interest savings account.

This is what they say on their page.
