    Does this account allow you to fund the account without having to wait for its bank card to arrive (if it comes with a  bank card?)
    There is no bank card for the regular saver.
    Yes, I agree. part of the deal is to have a current account with them, so I need to open one first hence my OP, please?

    You don't need to have the current account's debit card, no.

    Requested closure via online form of the regular saver (the form that was mentioned many pages ago), provided account details in the form for the regular saver. Followed up a day later via online chat just in case to make sure the reg saver is getting closed. 

    Received an email "Sorry to see you go", checked my app and instead of the regular saver they closed my current account. Reg saver still not closed, still waiting for the interest to be transferred to the current account (that is now closed). 

    Just raised a complaint. Totally unacceptable. 

    Screenshots not allowed in the app, transcript only available by post on paper if chat has happened via app. Requested a postal copy now. 

    Exactlly the same happened to me. They put it down to the "huge" numbers that opened that RS (c.37000 apparently) and then wanted it closed

    I can't see anything in the T&Cs of the new Darlington that indicates that the maximum balance can't be £3250?
    Apart from the below?
    Managing the Account
    • Maximum deposit is £250 per calendar month (any monthly payments deposited over this amount, then the full deposit amount will be returned to you).
    • Maximum account balance is £3,000 (we will return any payments made over this amount to you)

    Where do you see this? Neither the website nor Summary Box pdf file mention maximum account balance.

    I had opened an account an hour ago and had logged off, and I have tried it just now (for you), and I did not get  "Hi 12345abcd". 
    I have to complete all the login details (maybe I did not asked it to remember my login details.)

    my says the same:  'DARLINGTON 12 Mth Reg eSaver 2'

    Sorry, you are correct. That was in issue 1 T's&C's but not in issue 2.

    Update - the introductory page for the earlier version did say 'up to a maximum of £3000'. The equivalent page for the new one doesn't. That will be a SO query now but if not a July 2026 question.  
    If it’s a common one about 13th payment, then the answer is - yes you can.
