I’m just waiting for my West Bromwich reg saver to payout, Today I think it is.
Ive also applied for another, takes 3-5 days.
But a 6% fixed it’s a good option.

 When I opened mine last March it was my poorest rate rs. I am now holding my breath hoping it will still be available when my current one matures.

I applied on Sunday not heard anything yet. Takes 3/5 days to set up.

So if you applied 3 days before your one ends, you might be in luck.

Loughborough BS Holiday Saver at 5.6% now NLA.

For those still wishing to open the account if you're quick you may be able to get an application in by post with the form backdated to yesterday:
https://www.theloughborough.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Savings-Application-form-V8-Feb-25.pdf
.

My application has been at glacial speed.

Over a week on from some clunky internal messaging with account details provided so one could fund (and the promise of the issuing of a passbook) I've received nothing.

Glacial speed is very slow, though.

Loughborough.
I received the account number on 11th, funded and send them a secure message (as requested) on 12th, my passbook arrived on 14th.

Saffron small saver maturity 

Received an email today advising that I should be able to choose my instructions via the app.

Well these instructions aren't available on the app or online.

Remind me please - is it normally the next day this option becomes visible?

TIA

Yorkshire Building Society - I have not had received maturity instructions for my Loyalty Regular E Saver @5.45%. I made my first deposit on 22 February 2024. I presume it goes to an easy access savings account after one year ie. 22 February 2025. On that day I will withdraw the balance and open a new one. I see the interest rate drops to 5.25% on 11/3/25. Because this account allows one withdrawal, I will open a new one as 5.25% is still competitive.

Has anyone else not had a maturity warning email?

The answer to your question is within the email, if you read it carefully. The options will appear in the app and online 14 days before maturity and can be used up to and no later than the day the account matures.

I assume that maturity instructions will also be received in the post and can be actioned by mail as in previous years..

That's very helpful thank you.

I'll be honest I would rarely scroll down past a 'yours sincerely', signature and footer (see image) especially with no asterisk to highlight there is additional information further down the email.
