The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

Has anyone had any success trying to open previous versions of their regular savers by post?
I have the 6% RS maturing end of November, which you could open & manage online. I didn't open their later 5.8% RS, due to it being branch only & the weird rule about having a strict maximum across multiple RS accounts.
I was looking to see what they had currently, thinking ahead as to what will be the replacement, and spotted this:

6% Limited Edition Branch only, which I think is new?

Branch only so no good for me unless postal application might be accepted? The "How do I open & manage" section does mention postal application but seems to be specifically for an adult opening one for an under 18 as opposed to an adults own account

Nationwide RS account question. 

My RS account  is due to mature on 21 October, but l could do with the cash  before the 27th of this month. (Although  l could manager) If l close the account, how much interest  would l forfeit 

Depends how much money you've got in the account....

Sorry, I should have said it's fully funded except  for Oct.

About 1/12th of £85, so 7 quid-ish.

Thank you for that.

If it's fully funded you've got £2,400 in it 
So, losing 24 days interest at 6.5% would be about £10.25

Thank you.

Yes, I got confirmation the branch account was open yesterday. The email thanked me for visiting the Newport Branch of the MBS to open the account. 😀😀I've never been to Newport in my life but am happy if they think I have.

Newport is the branch which is quickest to get to form London. It's quite handy, as there's a branch of Principality opposite!

Don't know by post, but I managed to open it in between trains in branch at Kettering

Opened Thursday last week. No previous YBS account ever. Passed the id check. Funded it today, Tuesday, and showing in the app within minutes. 

As a comment, you can apparently only install the app on one device. Or at least accessing with a second device means it resets the biometrics and full login required.
