The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

mhoc

I've opened the YBS £50 account purely to keep my loyalty status with YBS, minimal effort so I thought I might as well.  All my YBS accounts mature by the end of this year apart from one maturing early May 2026. 
But otherwise will YBS have a Christmas saver  - what do the experts think and what pittance of an interest rate?

RE YBS / Yorkshire BS 50 Pound Regular Saver/eSaver at 6%

Despite having many accounts over several years with YBS, I had to go through Mitek today when applying for this account. I 'passed', but apparently YBS say they need to do further checks. (?!) 

Does anyone know how long it might take for this element? 

Oddly, I can see the new account in the app, but it says there are restrictions on it (I presume I am unable to make a deposit until YBS complete their 'checks')...

Nottm BS have put up a page about UK Savings Week:
https://www.thenottingham.com/savings/uk-savings-week

Doesn't look like any special accounts for the week are planned, but they could still surprise us.

The Loughborough also have a page - but no details of any accounts yet:

It can take a day or so to show on app/website

I recently thought this after recently becoming a customer, and yes it can take a working day or so to show, however the posting date will be the date you made the payment once you see it. Applaud this as some, like Furness, date the transaction on the date it is credited their side which is annoying.

Can't login to CovBS online (app seems OK). Bombs out at sending SMS stage.

Just me?

I've just logged in okay. I say okay, both times I've tried to login it's said my password is incorrect and I've then copied and pasted it in (iPad) and it's been fine. There's no eye to make visible what was first entered so don't know what's going wrong in the first instance.

Very similar  experiences with me yesterday evening. (Online no app) Had to do a few attempts before gaining  access.
Just tried and took two attempts but eventually got in.
