I updated the Principality maturity option on line and requested the New Iss 4 regular saver.  I got the yellow box showing the Maturity Instructions will be completed on the 13th September. 

My wife did the same as me but she got a secure message telling her she cannot have two Issue 4 Regular Savers. I will need to wait and see if mine gets bounced. Fingers crossed.

Seems all very random.
I haven't received any notification yet of my maturity instruction been rejected

It is random, no clear cause for failures.  I was lucky so far, up to date my maturity options have never failed.  Can't remember how many times I've done it, I think more than 10.  I've been running 4 6mRS simultaneously for quite a while now.  I also have 2 Christmases (the second one was the result of maturity instruction). Yesterday I've instructed my first issue 3 to morph into my second issue 4 - no rejection yet.

It does seem just to be down to luck. I only found out relatively recently that there was even such a possibility but both the maturity instructions I have given have been overridden.

YBS have sent a second email about Savings Week. They'll have some very annoyed customers if they don't come out with anything now 😐

I don't know why they bothered sending out two emails with no useful information in them whatsoever and a link to their current offering of savings accounts (which isn't great right now). All will be forgiven if they actually offer something good in savings week!

Monmouthshire BS

Both the regular saver issue 8 (6%) and app/branch exclusive regular saver issue 1 (7%) pay interest at the end of the term according to the T&Cs:

• Interest is calculated daily and paid at the end of the 12 month term.

However I noticed on my online account that the next interest due date for both of these accounts shows as 31/03/2026.



Is this an error on the online system and the payment will be credited at the end of the term as per the t&c?
This will be important for many as it will fall in a different tax year as planned!

Also noticed that there is another more general regular saver terms and conditions where it states:

• The interest for this account is variable, calculated daily and paid once a year after 31 March.

Which seems to contradict the specific product t&cs. This document also says "Always refer to the specific Product Summary document before the Regular Saver Terms and Conditions" so I assumed the interest payment will be after the 12 month term??

Hoping this is only an error in the online system! Does anyone have past experience with this BS and can confirm what will happen with the interest payment?

I seem to recall this happened with their Coronation RS (launched in 2023) which stated interest would be paid on 31/3/24 in online banking. In my case interest wasn't paid in March and was instead paid when I closed the account in April 2024.

And with one or both of last year's 7/8% offerings. Clarified with them that it was end of term

Sorry do you mean that you've clarified with them on their current RS's offered or last years?  Because if interest is indeed paid 31/03 then I suspect it will have tax implications for many so may have to rethink

Last year's. Apologies for not being clearer

I havent received a single email on this subject & I hold 6 different accounts with them. Nothing in spam folder either

I used to subscribe to every list going hoping I'd hear about new products first... the reality is if you read this thread even a couple of times a week you'll probably see it here long before marketing goes out!

I got 2 emails too, but I only have 1 account with YBS, with a token amount in it. 

Maybe you didn’t get an email because you already have most of their accounts already!!! 😆😆

I have posted an application form and, although hesitant originally, also a cheque for £500.00 to MonBS head office in Newport (~200 miles by road from where I live) for their Branch Exclusive Regular Saver at around 6:00 PM on Wednesday night via 1st Class using a postbox with last collection at 7:00 PM. The account appeared on their app today at around 11:00 AM with a balance of £0.00. When I checked the app later in the day - around 6:30 PM - the £500.00 is now showing as in with a description "Cheque Receipt". Happy days! Impressed at the speed.

Another £500.00 going in on Monday via bank transfer.

Excellent luck. I posted mine on Wed am (in time for uplift later that day at 6pm) but with second class stamp. Nothing showing on the app yet to suggest account open. Looks like I have missed out on August. Oh well, some you win, some you lose

I'm in a similar position. If they give me the account at all, I'll consider it a huge win! 

Presumably it could show Monday onwards with an opening date that is in fact an August date?

@s71hj, Here's hoping!
