- You can pay in up to the maximum of £250 every calendar month and earn interest on this.
- As the maximum balance you can earn interest on increases each month by £250, if you don’t manage to save your full £250 in any month, you can pay more in the next or future months.
- The maximum balance you can earn interest on at the end of the 12 month fixed term is £3,000.
- Interest payments added directly to your account will not be counted towards the monthly £250 limit.
- If you save more than the maximum £250 limit each calendar month, we will accept the money, but you will not earn interest on any amount that exceeds the cumulative maximum monthly limit. This does not include any interest that will be added direct to your account.

Didn't see any posts about this, apologies if I missed any. A reminder that Zopa are reducing the rate on their regular saver tomorrow and making it variable."As a Zopa bank account customer, you’re eligible to open a Regular Saver pot. It lets you save up to £300 a month, withdraw anytime and earn 7.5% AER* (7.25% gross**) — fixed for a year.https://postimg.cc/crNLNRb4
This rate will expire on 17th June. After that, you'll still be able to open a Regular Saver pot, but you’ll earn a lower, variable interest rate of 7.1% AER* (6.87% gross**)."
Their bank account is still in beta, but I think anyone can open an account now. Their how do I open an account page now says:"You can do this at any time in our app. Simply tap the ‘Apply’ tab at the bottom of your screen and you’ll see the option to get started from there."4 -

SaffronJust had an email from Saffron - which initially looked a bit scammy - that included a "Refer a Friend link" I've been invited to send to an eligible friend to eventually get a £15 book token.Of note, the email clearly states "Your friend must be a new saffron customer to be eligible to open the account. Existing members do not qualify." (T&C's apply)[Edit for clarity: Posted to highlight the (now) clear eligibility requirements for the account, not seeking anyone to refer.]0
