MHBS RS Funding

Thanks for your replies.  So I think that the people who have 2 accounts and did not have accounts closed recently or money returned are ok.  I had 2 accounts closed and £4K+ returned and got on the naughty list...

That's bad, discriminatory even, poor NI savers

Many BS’ and some banks e.g., Danske is NI only  restrict access to accounts based on postcode. Thems the breaks.

Danske bank has a really good switching bonus which (if you're a new customer) is only available if you're resident in Northern Ireland. You win some, you lose some.

SUFFOLK REG SAVER 5% FIXED 30/11/26
The new Regular Saver announced by Bridlington1 is now available on line, can be open even by those who have the previous versions of the Regular Saver ending July 26 (4.85%) and September 26 (5%). Opened and funded in a minute (using a debit card makes the payment immediately available in their on line banking). It allows 15 monthly deposits, something that makes it interesting (at least to me) although the interest rate is not among the best ones. You can miss as many payments as you like without problems

What_time_is_it

Thanks for the info on the new Suffolk reg saver.
Does this account “start” from the date you open it? Or from the date you make the first deposit?

Date of opening, but it doesn't matter much as the maturity date is fixed.

Please can some kind soul remind me, is Nationwide like Lloyds one of the regular savers you can renew? Trying to free up some cash but want to still open replacements to keep the 6.5 and 6.25 rates.  Many thanks in advance.  

Recently tried this with Progressive but got refused

You can renew the Nationwide account. If you close it today the system will allow you to open a new one tomorrow.
