Principality - Just had an issue 34 regular saver mature today. Yes the rush of maturing 6 month and regular savers was exciting. Now feeling a bit deflated as I've got nothing maturing now until the end of July and I  already have the funds together to feed the July 1st regular savers so nothing to ponder over for almost six weeks ... 

In the meantime does anyone have any thoughts regarding the Bank of England meeting this week - is the rate staying put - are they waiting for the next one in September for the next drop?
MY Halifax and Lloyds savers I only renewed a month ago anticipating a drop which didnt happen ... 

I have read that the rate is expected to remain unchanged on Thursday but with 2 drops still expected by the end of the year.

How can you fund the Regular Saver please?
I've found the internal transfer from Zopa CA way, but despite having both a smart saver and regular saver I can only seem to see one set of savings account transfer details.
Thanks!

You can use their Open Banking payment system to pull the money in, but be aware a small number of people have reported missed payments (all of mine have worked ok).

Just a thought. Could it be because head office is distributing e-mail applications to branches and some deal with them quicker than others?

I opened 1yr Super in branch.  Arrived 30 minutes earlier and joined the queue to report my arrival for appointment.  it took 20 minutes for 2 members of staff to deal with 2 customers in front of me.  I've asked if they can update my existing 2 passbooks whilst I'm waiting for my appointment (I wish I didn't) - one passbook consumed 5 minutes of their time and the other one was returned to me at the end of my appointment with handwritten update.  From what I understood they have serious issues with IT system.  Staff looked overwhelmed and stressed.  I'm just thinking if they had to deal with e-mail applications they would prioritise dealing with customers at the branch.

Do you fulfill both loyalty and postcode requirements??? Wondering whether any loyal customers outside postcode areas have managed to open one??? TIA

I spoke to them by phone yesterday. They confirmed they changed the requirements "last week" to allow existing members out of area to apply, in addition to locals

Only non-locals who are not existing customers are now excluded
