CBS reducing Loyalty Seasonal Saver

Must have already been mentioned. I just got the email too, but on looking in my spreadsheet I'd already noted it.

You are correct, just checked my spreadsheet and it has already been updated.
Next time I will check my spreadsheet before posting 😊

Interestingly Monmouthshire have a interest rate update from the 14/2 and the NLA RS I have with them is showing an unchanged rate.

Exclusive RS2 (5.65%)

Regarding the Santander Regular saver, i know the terms say that it must be funded from Santander curremt account but has anyone tried funding it from an eternal account without consequences?

Works for me.

Is there some way to find out the Santander RS sort code and acc number

all i can find is

sort code - SAVING

account no - R12345678

There are no BACS details, the account can only be transferred to or from using a Santander current account.

It's already down 0.35% from the 6% it launched at last Summer. I suspect they've priced in whatever rate drop they needed to in order to cover themselves until maturity.

Mediocre interest rate and variable (which with Nottm means it'll probably follow the base rate downwards reliably). Also the usual Nottm issues of being branch only with zero in the way of online access or even postal servicing (unless they offer an online version).

Good spot but I'll be passing on this one.

The unlimited withdrawals make this an excellent product for those near a branch.
