Annoying how they never offer these through Natwest, good offer though! 

I've tried to sign up without a current account and it's being processed, says to check back within 2 business days.

Ulster Bank  Limited Edition Saver Account
4.50% /4.41% interest paid monthly, no withdrawal restrictions.

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!

Noted, thanks @janusd What prompted the chat, the application process wouldn't let you proceed?

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.

Those of us who have spoken to Ulster have been told that this is incorrect and they are planning to change the information on the website. They all have said that a current account is required.

I'd argue that opening the current account before opening the savings account makes you an existing customer so you do have to be an existing customer before opening the savings account.

As there was no date specified for being an existing customer ( as there sometimes are for exclusive savings products) I would maintain.. you don't need to be an existing customer.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

FWIW I'm in agreement with you on this one @BestSeagull.

My logic is that all Ulster bank current account customers are existing customers, thus if you need to hold an Ulster bank current account to open an EA account then you must be an existing customer (specifically one who holds a current account) to be eligible for the EA account.

Ulster Bank LE Saver - Looks like they have fixed the issue and it now allows you to open without a Current Account.

Won't you need a current account with Ulster bank to withdraw funds ?
