SCOTTISH BUILDING SOCIETY  ONLINE REGULAR SAVER. 

I spoke earlier today to a member of staff over the phone (11.46am) and asked them if they're launching the online version of their postal/branch Regular Saver.
I was told there are no plans at the moment to do so.

And now there's the scramble to try to get an account opened by post and initial deposit received before the end of the month. I suspect this is is going to be rather tight.

For those who were holding out for the online version to be launched please accept my apologies for the misinformation. It seems my sources are growing unreliable of late.

Principality - for anyone who's interested, a Christmas Regular Saver 2026 is being offered as a maturity option for my Regular Saver Issue 3.

And for reference, I opted for the 6 Month Issue 4 instead, despite already having... er... one or two. Option 4, money to external account, no secure message generated. Green trim only.

Thank you. For the postal application, how exactly do you fill in the cheque? I've never written a cheque in my life 😁

Make it payable to “Scottish Building Society a/c dibbles212” replacing with your real name, date, sign and make sure amount in words and figures match. My cheque was written on the same account as the account I wanted withdrawals made to. Photograph of front of driving licence.

Add today's date to the top right of the cheque where it says date.
Where it says Pay, put your name
On the next 2 lines put the amount you're paying in words, if it's doesn't include any pence then put only at the end, e.g. two hundred and fifty pounds only.
Put the full amount including pence in numbers where the £ sign is on the middle right of the cheque, e.g. 250-00
Add your signature on the line on the bottom right of the cheque.

If there's any space left on the sections of the cheque you've filled out put a horizontal line across any unused space.

"Where it says Pay, put your name". Don't you mean, put "Scottish Building Society", or have I misunderstood?

Edited as I did misunderstand. My excuse is that it's a very long time since I wrote a cheque.

I suspect it won’t happen, though admittedly the post is useless here and I couldn’t get much further from Edinburgh. I gave up waiting and sent it first class in the interests of making sure the account was opened this month (not that the stamp cost me anywhere near what they now cost.) Cheque cleared today, exactly a week after posting. How the date of cheque clearance compares to the date in the passbook remains to be seen.

Thanks. It's so long since I wrote a cheque that my memory is obviously rusty.

No, you don't need to write building society's name, just your own name.
