It's incredibly fragile but it will eventually work (took my wife about 40 mins and me about an hour).0 -

Also it says on the information section minimum £0 Max £500 (branch) but then goes on to say minimum £50 per month?1 -

Is that a 30 day window after 1 Sep or a 60 day window, 30 days either side of 1 Sep?
Your closure this week without penalty suggests the latter, although I would have interpreted the wording as meaning the former.

App Exclusive for existing customers prior to 20.08.25
£50 min £1000 max per month. Maximum balance £12k.
7% Variable

I did eventually get one - tried to login with the user name and password I had originally set (and which had got me at one point to my account dashboard) only to be faced with Password/Username not recognised issue - please register for an online account.
And yes, I do now very much regret trying to re-register - apparently I now have another letter on its way to me and I still can't get past the app screen inviting me to use one of two non-existent options for 2FA.
This has not been the smoothest of on-boarding experiences.£6000 in 20230 -

I've still not had any letters from Monmouthshire regarding the 1st regular saver I opened nearly 4 weeks ago.
I also cant log in online despite having reset my log in details twice recently but I've been putting off ringing.
Yes this monthly limit of £1000 needs a rethink as to where to find without having cashflow issues - basically it means maybe four regular savers with poor savings rates below 5% have to have their monthly deposits reduced to the minimum until they mature or stop funding until they mature.
Yorkshire Christmas savers and Yorkshire esavers come to mind - please can I ask what is the minimum deposit for these please - they only have 2 pay dates left until maturity.
(Already reduced Leek, Stafford and Coventry to the minimum)1 -

I have both now, so you could give it a go... I think the £50 refers to the minimum operating balance.0 -
