The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

Regarding Dudley BS, I applied for a Dudley BS EA account the night before the One Year Loyalty RS was launched and the EA account was not opened until the day of the Loyalty RS being launched. I applied for a Loyalty RS.

I have just checked my online banking and I now have a One Year Loyalty RS showing as opened on 25th July with a balance of £500 despite having never funded the EA account so I shall just leave the EA account to get closed due to lack of funding and retain the RS.

Might well take £249 back out of my EA in that case, I've the RS fully funded too.

That’s what I was going to do too, just tried but it won’t let me withdraw even though I have a nominated account on there, possibly because the minimum operation balance is £250. @flaneurs_lobster, let me know if you have better luck

Re Dudley BS Loyalty One Year Regular Saver

Did you fund it via cheque or electronically? I think it's cheque only, but wondered if you or anyone managed to fund it differently.

By FP, as soon as the account appeared online.

Replaced by Market Harborough Fixed Term Regular Saver (30.09.2026) at the same rate with a new maturity date of 30/9/26.

I see this is open in branch only unlike previous offers.

I've applied online on Friday.  Didn't receive any e-mails with regards to my application.

Only the first was officially available online if I recall correctly. I think there was a workaround briefly in December 2024 for the second, but nothing since.
