Applied for the Darlington RS on Saturday as a new customer. Received a reference number but no other communication from them. Expected that I might hear something from them today, but nothing as yet. Anybody else still waiting?

If you log into your (new) online account, you can see your Darlington Account number that you must use with their sort code and account number (IIRC it is 40-05-30, 14575881). Or you can just use your debit card and make a deposit when logged in - though that takes 2-3 days to get credited.

I paid £250 by debit card on Friday 8th into new Darlington RS. Showing today (Monday) with a credit date of 8th August.

Opened Darlington and registered online and it was going so well but then they required proof of my linked bank account so I had to upload a pdf of a  statement - I just uploaded page one with my name and address on as it runs to 4 pages - would one page be acceptable?
It then gave me a list but I had to tick "other" as bank statement was not listed  as proof of ID and then UK - think I might have muddled this up.
I have sent across my initial deposit.
(Bank account I've had for decades so I've no idea why proof needed) 

Added now to the never ending list of incomplete things I am waiting to hear about - Virgin, Monmouthshire and now Darlington

Is it too early to start speculating about UK Savings Week? 22nd - 28th September 2025

https://uksavingsweek.co.uk/

The players last year were:

• Melton BS with a 6% var 2 year saver which has so far remained at 6%
• The Nottingham with a 6% var branch regular saver (which fell like a stone)
• HSBC boosted their regular saver from 5% to 7%

And not forgetting YBS with their £50 RS which has thus far remained at 8%.

I missed the 7% HSBC account and am still annoyed about it! Fingers crossed they'll repeat

I keep forgetting it's a variable rate. I guess for such a small monthly deposit they won't gain much by slashing the rate. I reckon only a couple of pounds per customer.

I managed to grab the HSBC one, but somehow missed the Virgin 10%

I have Suffolk Online 1 Year Variable Rate Regular Saver (31.03.2026). I missed the 30 days withdrawal window last time when the rate reduced to 4.75%
With BoE rate reduction, any news of rate reduction for this particular regular saver?  Sorry, if this has been discussed in the posts before, I might have missed it
