Good news ... a new RS ! ... bad news, restrictions galore and a lowish rate.

Saffron BS have a new Braintree branch, to celebrate they've launched the Braintree RS. Branch only for opening (specifically the Braintree branch) .. 36 months (unusual), account can be managed by phone/webchat/post/branch ... max £250 per month,  rate 4% .

You'd have to be pretty rich to have exhausted all the other better possibilities than this one. Maybe the good folk of Braintree are particularly well heeled.

You ain't kidding! If I were to fill my open RSs down to 4.5% (i don't) it would need over £10k a month.

It's even more than that in my case, I've just done a quick check and just to fill those I have at 5%+ for December, I'd need £13,350, this doesn't include the NatWest/RBS DRSs which I've already filled.

Like yourself I haven't the funds to fill all of these so am having to empty RSs to feed others. It's a nice problem to have though.

How did you find about this launching so quickly, apparently it only opened this morning?

And out trot the usual sniffy comments about branch access only and the rate - the ‘joke’ about residents being well-heeled, ie they’ll have filled all the RS at a better rate before touching this one, was in rather poor taste IMHO. 

Braintree is a nice little market town, but like many of its ilk, has suffered the loss of in-person banking and has pockets of deprivation. Sure, perhaps local residents would like a better rate, but I’d rather say good on Saffron for investing in their community and a community asset, which will also bring more footfall to that asset.

Branch-only restrictions are first-world problems for those of us on here and I was rather shocked at recent noise around trying to get into some recent branch-only offerings by other means. Not great, and the ‘number of RS’ thread also ended up looking rather boastful. I play the RS game too, to my profit, and I’m very grateful to some of the really good and knowledgeable members on here, but I also sometimes wish *some* posters realised how some of this comes across.
