Apologies if I have missed this if it has already been posted, as I tend to skip through a lot of posts in this thread these days.

Dudley BS have two versions of a Festive Regular Saver
£0 to £250 p/m (though min £50 to open)
Unlimited withdrawals
One online, one branch/post. Looks like both can be opened.
1 year term, 13th deposit permitted, 5.50% variable

What's the difference in the two?

Presumably one can be opened online, the other in branch or by post.

First Direct 7% regular saver - just a heads up that mine matured on Saturday 13th, the money was available for me to withdraw on Sunday 14th and I was able to request a new one to start on that same day (Sunday).

It still isn't open yet (Friday 19th) which means that First Direct's lead time could be about a week currently for this account. They've sent a lovely apologetic text and when I log in I have a message explaining how inundated they have been for this account, that "one has been reserved for (me)" but that it might take longer to open than usual.

This is all fine by me, but I just thought it might be useful for anyone with one about to mature to know (or if you start an application from scratch.)

Lots of love

Mine matured on Wednesday and my new one opened the same day!
Although I did apply for the new one as soon as the old one disappeared

Good call HB 

Anyone applied for this as a new customer recently? I'm just wondering what the lead time is from application to opening. TIA

I just opened it online as a new customer, just a few minutes, no waiting for emails with details, and nothing needed to be posted out to me, just one SMS one time passcode to enter, honestly one of the quickest I have ever opened. I chose to make first deposit with debit card, and that was smooth also.

Opened the online version by logging into Dudley as an existing customer. Account opened, and showing, within a couple of minutes. First payment made by debit card. Of note is the unlimited penalty-free withdrawals (unlike earlier Dudley RS's opened in the summer).
