    HRBS Christmas RS to be launched 1/11/25

    The details I've been given:
    5% (var)
    £100/Mth max
    Can skip months 
    30 notice on withdrawals which are unlimited 
    Branch/post opening but can be viewed online once opened.

    They have said they'll send an application pack to me when it's launched 
    https://www.hrbs.co.uk/savings-products/christmas-saver-30-day-notice/

    Has anyone who requested HRBS post them an application form received anything? 

    I requested one via the web form (not via phone) and have not heard anything from them.
    HRBS Application
    Same here; requested on phone, received within 2 days; no envelope, despite asking for one. They indicate an email address, so I'm going to try returning the completed application by email first, and may just happen to mention being assured of an envelope but one not received.

    My profit guesstimator on this one (Total invested times a bit more than half the stated rate) (1300*0.026)=£33.80 profit.  So a bit more profit than a Principality BS 6 month and more effort because it involves passbooks and no free envelopes.  Still if you're not a member yet there may be something good in the future.
