SUFFOLK NEW REGULAR SAVER 5%
Applied and funded it in a minute. It can be opened even by those with the previous version of the saver paying 4.85% ending July 2026. The rate is not the greatest (5% fixed) but the end date is 30 Sept '26, so a 15 months saver. Thank you Bridlington1 for let us know in advance last week. If you have already an account with Suffolk the link to the new regular saver can be found clicking the button Apply after logging in 

Interesting that if you open the Branch/Postal version you can save up to £500pm whereas the online version is only £250.

Mine is online version ending June 2026, pays 5%. It allows £500pm.

Mine is online version ending June 2025, pays 5%. It allows £500pm. 

In that case it has matured already. Current online RS is £250 per month

It was a typo, I meant June 2026, apologies, now corrected.

I phoned Suffolk BS for the first time today, it was answered quickly and they were really helpful (my account got locked as I wasn't receiving 2FA text messages to complete the login) - While I was on the phone they confirmed you can open multiple online 1 Yr Fixed Rate Regular Savers as long as they are different "issues", those with different end dates, so I did!

You can also open multiple postal 1 Yr Fixed Rate Regular Savers as long as they are different "issues" as well.

You keep saying that but it isn't true - Chetwood Bank doesn't have an app and Wrexham is in Wales. 

Although, to be fair, this is a discussion of regular savers and I don't think Chetwood offer one.

And also to be fair I was thinking of main banks, building societies etc & I didn't know Chetwood existed

@MarkfromCornwall It was also posted in the "savings app thread" too. It was wrong when it was posted there as well, as I said.

@jamesonline You're only "thinking of main banks" yet Swansea who you mention have total assets under management of about £620 million while Chetwood have a total AUM figure of around £4billion.

Chetwood is the second biggest bank or building society based in Wales.

Dudley Loyalty Regular Saver
Have just spoken to Customer Services at Dudley BS as I opened my account last night but funds didn’t get credited until this morning. She has confirmed that as long as the account was opened on or before 17th July whether funded or not then you are eligible for the Loyalty RS.

checkly said:

Just rang CS and was told that it had to be funded by 17th July so no point them sending me an application form!  Oh well!

Mine's opened 17th, showing funded next day. One of those CS agents is correct, I've filled the form out so might as well spend the postage to find out which.

My Dudley Loyalty Regular Saver now showing in my online account. That was impressively quick, only posted the application yesterday.

Anyone get an email from Coventry reminding them to pay in by the end of July to qualify for the last Sunny Day Saver draw in August? I don’t know why they send it to me as I paid in on the 1st and now wonder whether paying in too early in the month has meant being erroneously left out. At least when you didn’t win with Nationwide you got an email confirming that you had been entered.

I do think that the e mail is just a generic reminder, nothing to do with your personal balance on that account and has been obviously sent to everybody. I deposited money well after the first week in July and received it today as well

I think some banks and building societies aren’t very clever with their emails. I opened a Club Lloyds Monthly Saver last week and transferred the maximum monthly payment of £400 into it on the same day. The following day I got an email from Lloyds saying that in order to make the most of my new account I should pay some money into it as soon as possible!
