    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
    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 

    Given that the essence of a Regular Saver is regular deposits, the Edge saver is anything but a Regular Saver. 

    Nor is is being described or marketed as a Regular Saver by Santander. 

    Nobody has yet described the Cahoot Sunny Day Savers or similar offerings as Regular Savers, even though they have very similar characteristics as the Edge saver, and long may this thread be reserved for true Regular Savers.

     
    All I was doing was responding to someone whingeing about the Edge Saver being discussed on here. I know it's not a regular saver. I was responding to them.
    You could always use the Edge as Regular Saver if you wanted?
    I for one am glad it was mentioned on here otherwise I'd not have realised they had brought out another issue with the possibility for a higher rate for a year.

    To the person talking about Santander Edge things, it's nothing to be majorly concerned about yet (if ever), I've also received an email from Santander:

    So basically all that means is that they've launched a new Edge account and if you have that account you can also have an Edge Saver.

    But defo get a new Edge Saver as 4%is poor

    So how many of these 6% easy-access/'regular saver' accounts can one person have?
    You can have 2, 1 for each Edge Current Account you hold.
    Not wishing to prolong the agony for those enjoying this discussion, but it should be pointed out that there is a limit of 1 sole Edge Current Account per customer. A second account must be joint.

    Um, then my two sole Edge Current Accounts must be a mistake?

    I was wondering how I could obtain two sole accounts. I tried and as I've already got an Edge, it wouldn't give me an Edge as an option (apologies in advance to anyone who may beco annoyed at my discussing an account which is not a regular saver account)
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    It's been a while but all I remember is applying for another Edge Current account in the app, opened within a few hours, never funded, no DDs, opened a 2nd Edge Saver a few days later.

    Consider yourselves fortunate. They are enforcing the terms now - at least in the app. Either applying for a new account or upgrading an existing one.
