Well 😅 you’d assume a member of staff might know what they are doing…. As I’ve always had good service from them in the past.

I’ve now gone back into the branch and showed them it’s still on the website and they have set it up for me….

Will have to make sure I have screen shots and stuff next time I go in so don’t have to go through all this again.

Then maybe you should delete your post above saying it's, NLA

Principality 6 month regular saver issue 1 maturity
I can confirm that my husband’s issue 1 matured today and it went through as requested, £200 into a new 6 month regular saver issue 3 (so he now has two issue 3’s) and the balance and interest sent to his nominated account at 9:10am this morning. Hopefully mine does the same in two weeks 🤞😊

Mine matures next week.  I thought you could only have one account of each issue so currently have opted to have all maturity funds sent to my nominated account.  Will reconsider if having a second issue 3 is a valid option.

I had an issue 1, two issue 2 using the maturity option and an issue 3, if this still works I might end up with Three issue 3.

my Issue 1 matures on the 7th May - I had a letter in the post last week detailing various maturity options for the account - namely fixed rate bonds and their 1-Yr RS... it included a leaflet for the 6-Month RS 3, but it was not an option on the paper forms (I already have one RS3) and I don't recall seeing any maturity options on the website at that time.

logging into the PBS website today, there was a maturity options link for the account - one of which was the option of opening another RS Issue 3 with a £200 deposit and the remaining balance (£1k) put in another account or transferred elsewhere... I chose this option and was accepted.

interestingly, i've got an Issue 2 maturing in June, so hopefully i'll be able to open a third account then too.

My issue 1 is due to mature in early May but I currently can't access any of my accounts as the OTP text messages haven't been coming through since before the Easter weekend (no issues with any other texts and they're not on my blocked list before anyone asks).  They're looking into it now but goodness knows when the issue will be resolved.

Exactly the same scenario here.  So far it continues to be £600 p/m and hopefully will continue in June... and hopefully issue 4 (if it comes) will have a competitive rate.

ChorleyBS Regular Saver (30.04.2025)

I received a letter a week or so ago with maturity options.  I just wondered if anyone has sent maturity instructions through email or through the online messaging service ?

I'm thinking about completing the form, scanning it and then emailing or using a message attachment, if that is possible.  This way I hope it would be quicker and I could keep the prepaid envelope, that may be useful later.

The default maturity option is to transfer all/some of the balance to a Members Maturity Easy Access Saver (2 Withdrawals) account.  This currently pays 4.05%A. Transferring from this account may be a way to receive some of the maturing balance sooner, as a transfer from the maturing account to nominated on closure uses BACS.

The reasonably good news is that a roll over option is possible and the account and rate (5.15%A again) is stated.

Yes, it still works! I did my prinicpality maturity options today on my issue 1, selecting opening a 2nd Issue 3 which is set to begin on the 8th May

Suffolk Building Society to launch an Online Fixed Rate Regular Saver (31.07.2026) and Fixed Rate Regular Saver (31.07.2026) both at 4.85% on 28/4/25. Presumably these shall replace the previous issues at 5%.

I've lobbed £100 into a new Coventry Loyalty Regular Saver (3), purely to gain entry to the prize draw. Only has to sit there for less than two months with it being a one-off draw, and seems worth losing a minuscule amount of interest to be in with a chance. I was lucky just before Christmas in their Sunny Day Saver draw, so am hoping lightning may strike twice. Thanks to whoever first mentioned the Regular Saver (3) here. 

Where are the details of the prize draw? Are any other accounts covered?
