Yeah, previously the limit was 2 as far as I know, so the change is in allowing three.

But since to get the third account you would need a paid Explorer account it wouldn't be worth it for savings alone.

...until someone deduces a workaround that allows the paid-for Explorer to be not-paid-for, like the (not-)paid-for Edge account?

Santander - confirmed with them. OneEdge Saver (6% for a yr) for each current account (1 single and 2 for joint). Only downside is the £3 mthly fee for each current account, but if you have some SOs in there it compensates

See posts passim for how to avoid the £3 fee, and you can have 2 sole Edge current accounts.

It is well documented that you can avoid the fee, by not setting up DD’s. It’s now possible to have three, the two you suggest plus an Edge Explorer account allows one as well.

Anything to do with RS? Perhaps you posted this in the wrong thread.

The Edge Saver is like a regular saver, only it allows you to put all your money in in one go at the beginning

Similarities: high interest rate, matures (well, rate drops) after a year
Differences: initial lump sum deposit rather than smaller monthly payments

I guess it doesn't officially belong in the regular saver thread, but no harm in discussing it here.

How is it like a RS? surely it's a easy access savings account that has a limit on how much you can put in and get interest.

It's also a useful feeder account if you need to quickly top up a santander current account for the periodic regular saver standing orders when you're somewhat disorganised!

There are various not strictly  regular saver related things that I find incredibly useful in my regular saver endeavours thanks to people straying a tad off thread on here to mention them . At the end of the day it only takes seconds to scroll past.

Like I said, it has all the characteristics of a regular saver (higher interest rate, maximum balance, maturity date when the interest rate drops) except for the fact you can put your money in at the beginning. And take it out (a similarity with other regular savers). It has the additional benefit of being able to replace funds withdrawn
