Saw 3 pages of new posts in 2 hours and thought some fantastic new RS must have been released, the Principality Green Shirt New Year Saver or some such. 

Well to put that right for you:

West Brom have launched a Winter Ready Savings Account at 6% fixed:
Can be opened online or in branch
Matures 31/10/26
£100/mth max
Max balance £1k
No withdrawals permitted until the end of its term.

West Brom have an away shirt with green in it so I can make that work. 

I'll do them a deal - they pay me the £3k in O/S maturity funds from 31/12 and I'll think about opening this one.

I wasn't asked for ID, but I'm an existing customer so just gave my account number, inputted my details and then was told the account'll be open within the next 3-5 working days.

Thanks. It actually works on PC, just not mobile for me, for some reason.

In addition to the above I've just noticed this in the terms:

• If you make five or more deposits by 31 October 2026, you’ll be entered into a prize draw where four customers will each win £250 to help with their winter budget (subject to terms and conditions).

The summary box states the deposits need to be £1 or more to be eligible for the prize draw.

Honestly, how many of us have actually been inconvenienced by Darlington's error?

Exactly this. Reminds me of the slightly strange hokey cokey with MonBS last month where the RS deposits were in then out then eventually credited correctly. If you weren't an avid reader of this RS thread you'd probably have never known, unless you examined your transaction history in detail.

West Brom B.S
My regular saver was showing with interest on the morning of the 31st so requested it all sent to my nominated bank account, now looks like I wont see my money until Monday the 5th.

My WestBrom morphed today (£3098.80).  I requested to close the account.  I think they are doing it manually so Monday is the earliest to receive funds, but we should still get 2.35% for the cash drag days.

The thing is, mine matured on the 31st and had gone from the website the next morning so I can't see it earning any interest until it arrives in my bank account.

West Brom Regular Saver Maturity

Same situation. Matured on the 31st. On the 1st I moved £5 from the Access Regular Saver to an easy access account (to keep a relationship) and requested the rest to my nominated account.

The new easy access account was approved and opened the next day (2nd) with the money transferred. Still yet to see the main payment to my nominated account, which I think should arrive by CoP on the 5th.

Seems several people are awaiting matured funds to arrive in nominated accounts today.

Has anyone had they money credited yet?

No, but I've just received a text message "Hi, your withdrawal was successful, and your account has now been closed".

Bridlington1 - my Regular Saver Issue 7 matures tomorrow so good timing
Applied online now awaiting confirmation

Darlington

To throw my 2 penceworth in - not aggrieved, not bothered, happy for them to take their time and sort it out in their own good time

Beverley Building Society 

My RS account is still showing 1% despite putting in £150/month since Sep. Someone mentioned theirs is now showing 5.5% as expected, is this the case with everyone?

For me the bonus interest of 4.5% has been paid on top of the 1% interest, however the account's interest rate still shows as 1%, presumably because I haven't met the criteria for earning the bonus rate for 2026.

I’ve only received the 1% interest (£1.08), no bonus. Will call them on Monday to get to the bottom this.

Send a secure message. They respond quickly, and it saves going through all the security questions palaver.

Good idea, will do. Thanks!

Struggled to send my message, it seems to not work unless you attach a file... anyway I phoned and the nice lady said they were aware there's currently a glitch on the system affecting regular savers accounts which means they would have to manually update these accounts.  They are currently half way through the list which would explain why only some of us have got the bonus interests. She suggested I check my account again tomorrow.
