So my First  Direct regular saver  and Virgin 10% one matures on the 29th and 31st. 

Was thinking of putting the funds into my Skipton members' saver(already been open for 6 weeks with 1k), and Cahoot sunny day saver  just applied  this morning(empty atm).

If l just left the fund in the accounts for the term instead of opening  First Direct  again and another regular savers maybe TSB?? and drip feeding across how much would l be down by?
Thanks

The only good reason not to open the First Direct regular saver again is if you think you might need the money before the year term is up.

Yes it's a good RS but like you stated  not easy to access  the cash without a drop in interest.

Dudley Building Society

 

At their AGM today, it was announced that they are launching a new Regular Saver tomorrow. 

When the AGM closed, they were asked about the details of said new regular saver, and the chief Exec said that it would be 6% for existing members and 5% for new.  When asked how much can be deposited, he intimated it would be £250 per month and be a 12-month account.  He gave very vague answers and he did not seem to know a lot about this new account.   

We will have to wait and see 

Anyone know when today this is launching? Don't know if anyone has called etc.

Also, anyone know what Dudley's loyalty cut off has previously been for any previous such accounts?

Thanks!

Edited - Apologies, this is already mentioned on the 1st page (and indeed on the page just before this one!), must have more coffee before posting....

It looks like this is live now, at least for new customers
Up to £500/month which looks appealing

Branch or Post

I think I will pass, as I am not near a Dudley Branch and I can't be bothered with postal operations. Lovely account for those who can have it. I am not jealous, not one bit.....

And annoyingly, my Dudley EA account has now been opened this morning, so it seems I've missed out by less than 12 hours.

First page of this thread shall be updated this evening.

It says a live account so I imagine my ISA opened last night but that couldn't be funded until this morning won't be enough.

Not sure I'll waste a stamp to be honest.

I did log in to my existing account to see if it could be opened via "Apply Online" but no, branch or post does indeed seem the only way

Dudley Loyalty Regular Saver
Have just spoken to Customer Services at Dudley BS as I opened my account last night but funds didn’t get credited until this morning. She has confirmed that as long as the account was opened on or before 17th July whether funded or not then you are eligible for the Loyalty RS.
A bit annoying that it is branch or post but I think it’s worth applying for as it is for £500 pm.
