I notice Dudley BS Loyalty One Year Regular Saver is now 5.75%, from 6.0%, although page 1 states tomorrow's date.  I think it may have changed yesterday, don't recall receiving notification from Dudley BS of this change.

I got notification for change on 14/01

YBS Xmas Saver

Seems to have gone live on their site

Think I will pass. If the interest rate was fixed or the amount permitted was higher I might have been tempted but after a flurry of loads of RS accounts over the last 18 months I can no longer be bothered with underwhelming accounts such as this.

If you still have funds left over after funding all the higher paying accounts, this is a nice account in a falling interest rate climate.

I will continue to use my Cahoot sunny day savers for any excess funds rather than open one of these.

There should be a new RS released on 20/1/26, 6.75%A, £160 monthly, with 10 month duration. Named '160 Year Anniversary RS'. Information seemed to be definite, but may be subject to change.

I like to spread  my risks

When I spoke to them today, I was told that online applications would be available on the 20th January.

ETA As quoted above.

I'll wait for the 20th but if you are desperate, you can send your Furness application by post, apparently

That's a shame - Barrow is a tad too far for me to visit a branch. Still, for anyone who's a bit closer, it looks like it can be managed online, once opened.

Hopefully the information Furness gave the poster re: accepting online applications from the 20th is accurate, as the download application form button sends you in a loop rather than giving you a form.

I have managed to print the form. Have you ticked all the boxes it presents you with, like having received product details? There are about 5 boxes to mark.

Edited to add:- I'm a current Furness saver but don't have online access. I'm just going to fill in the form and end it off today with cheque and hope for the best,

I thought I had marked 5 but it turned out there were 7 and I missed the other 2.

I probably won't use it as I'm happy to wait until the 20th and have online access, but thought it would be useful to get a copy in case.
