Monmouthshire BS have finally released their app at some point in the past few weeks: https://www.monbs.com/monbs-app/

Thanks to @ircE who posted in Whimsical banter thread

All they need to do now is release a good RS

SUFFOLK NEW REGULAR SAVER 5%
Applied and funded it in a minute. It can be opened even by those with the previous version of the saver paying 4.85% ending July 2026. The rate is not the greatest (5% fixed) but the end date is 30 Sept '26, so a 15 months saver. Thank you Bridlington1 for let us know in advance last week. If you have already an account with Suffolk the link to the new regular saver can be found clicking the button Apply after logging in

I've had a notification by email to expect a letter in the post regarding my Coventry regular saver 6 maturity in early August. I am going to just close and withdraw (to feed the September standing orders) 
But when did Coventry regular savers allow deposit up to £500 - is this a new thing or have I just missed the memo? 
Not that it matters now the interest rate is down to 4.25% - I have another regular saver 6 which was started in January which I am probably going to reduce the standing order to for to the minimum. 

Coventry
Back in 2019 my Coventry RS were £500 per month.

You keep saying that but it isn't true - Chetwood Bank doesn't have an app and Wrexham is in Wales. 

Although, to be fair, this is a discussion of regular savers and I don't think Chetwood offer one.

Interesting that if you open the Branch/Postal version you can save up to £500pm whereas the online version is only £250.

And also to be fair I was thinking of main banks, building societies etc & I didn't know Chetwood existed

Apparently to give locals who use a branch some advantage over the population in general.  Being able to open both accounts amplifies the advantage.

Without an account offering not even a remotely attractive interest rate it was not worth their effort. My RS is full and unless they come up with something a lot better than 3.4%, that's me out.

In that case it has matured already. Current online RS is £250 per month
