The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

My Monmouthshire exclusive saver matures at the end of August - I think I've got a 13th payment schedules but assume it will bounce back... 
At the moment there seems to be no replacement - just a miserable regular saver paying 3.7% and variable - between now and then there might be 2 more meetings of the BOE and it may be even worse. 
I've calendered a day in August to open an easy saver so if ever Monmouthshire do have good interest rates again at least I will have continuing membership - not sure yet whether to input £10 or £1000 ...

Yes August is a long way off yet ...

Me too. However it launched 22/2 and rate changed 11/3. It’s included on Page 1 and requires membership of min 12 months. 

I presume I had a previous version which has since matured!  Opened 👍🏻

Me too. However it launched in March. 

Really? Must have been just as exciting then too because I have no recollection of it at all.

If you are running the RS to the end you might as well withdraw all but £1 on maturity as it will default into an Easy Access, which would have been open long enough should they say 1 year+ membership like some competitors.

Apologies as I know it has been discussed before endlessly.
 Reading up about the potential interest rates drops before the end of 2025 and thinking about the next BOE rate review on the 8th ....I am dithering whether to renew my Halifax and LLoyds regular savers again - the maturity dates are in December and February  so at least this would fix the rates into May 2026 .....

I had the same dilema with Halifax, Bank of Scotland &  Club Lloyds RS all with fixed rates & all maturing in October 2025. I decided to renew them all last week. I haven't opened a standard Lloyds RS @ 5.25% fixed, yet but may very well do so pronto next Thursday morning, if not before, just as an initial back up

You managed to renew your BOS regular?

The renew option wasn’t available for me on my BOS RS, so I emptied it and then used the online chat to request closure. They transferred the interest to my CA and I was able to open a new RS the next day.

It's been around since 2024 when it was launched at 5.75% IIRC, since then the rate has slipped to its present rate of 5.25%. I remember this account being one of the ones I ``refreshed" at the end of the 2023-4 tax year.

That's what I did.  I left one of them running on £1, closed all other EAs, just need one for continuous membership.
