Suffolk BS to launch new versions of their branch/post and online Fixed rate regular savers on Monday (21/7/25). These shall pay 5% fixed (up from 4.85% with the current issues) and shall have maturity dates of 30.09.2026.

I do have the current issue, it'd be interesting to know if it will be possible to open even this one 

I'd assume you should be able to. The terms of the current issue only say you can't have more than one of that particular issue, if the new RS terms follow suit you should be able to hold one of each issue. Same as Principality in that regard.

Dudley BS: Do we know if these recent postal/branch RSs are visible online?

Anyone know whether a cheque should be made out to Dudley BS, my name or both? It mentioned it was possible to open by cheque in the pop up when you download the application form but I didn’t see anything to that effect.

I'd be inclined to make the cheque to ``Dudley Building Society- {name}"

General Ts&Cs state regarding deposits by cheque:

In their FAQs:

When paying a cheque into an account, they should be made payable to the account holder's name.

The last time I opened a Reg Saver with Dudley BS I didn't send a cheque in with the application form, I waited for the account to be opened and made a FP to it on receipt of their confirmation of opening letter.  They will then send a passbook once a payment's been made.

Yes, you can view accounts online once registered for it.

Just received a letter from Coventry BS, I am one of fifty people to win 1000 pounds in the Coventry BS Loyalty Regular Saver (3) prize draw, happy days, anyone else?

I did as well!
Are there any other banks who do this sort of thing?
Coventry also had "Sunny Day Saver" from Oct 2024 so hoping out for another £500 on that

AWESOME! Congratulations to you both!

Kent Reliance have a monthly draw for £1,000 - you just need to have at least £100 in savings or £1,000 in a mortgage account with them.

Find myself idly wondering how the odds on that compare with the odds on premium bonds.
