    Just closed my Nationwide Regular Saver on internet banking, so easy to do, £2400 + £81.38 interest ☺️.

    Best of all it's instantly closed
    Shame we have to wait overnight to open another one.

    Seriously thinking about raiding my Nat West/RBS Regulars to fund our Monmouthshire 7% regulars. It has the added benefit of reducing my interest income for this tax year.

    Saffron Building Society App

    Apologies if this has already been covered. I haven't been able to get into the Saffron app on my Android phone recently and have instead been greeted with this:   Oops ... We are unable to connect at the moment, please try again and if your problem persists, please contact us.

    Today's update made no difference, so I called and was advised by the agent they have been aware of the issue for the last few days. Apparently, it is affecting all Android models. Their maintenance team is working on it and hope to resolve the matter soon. The website is working fine, for me anyway.

    Odd, I just managed to login via the Android app which was updated today to v3.0.701089

    Just closed my Skipton by app, £2000 + £43.99 interest, hopefully get that by end of day.

    Had to get it transferred to my Skipton Easy Access then request it to be sent to a nominated account but job done 👍

    Monmouth 7% Regular saver.


    I’m sure this was discussed earlier but can’t now find the posts so, am I correct in thinking you can open both the online ‘£1000’ version and the branch ‘£500’ version.

    I don’t want to travel a long way to be told I can’t have both.

    Thanks for any help.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    Mon3ysav3r reckons you can (2 days ago in this thread).

    Edit: Except the £1000 is the "app" version, not online?

    I meant to say you can have the two non branch versions, I have the Monmouthshire BS - Regular Saver Issue 8 (500 quid a month, 6% variable, applied for online) and App Exclusive Regular Saver Issue 1 (1K a month, 7% variable, applied for on app, and added to online accounts).

    I am not sure about the Branch 500 quid a month 7% variable version as I don't have that, the two nearest agent branches to me are both around 40 miles away.

    I was told you can have both the app exclusive and the branch 7%.  But the branch one can only be opened in person in branch (no postal applications accepted)
