The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

jameseonline

Not sure if I like this getting rumbled talk, Principality maturity options allowed us to have extra accounts etc, it's been allowed for some time now, they could have closed loophole or whatever at any time. People haven't really broken any rules because Principality didn't enforce their own rules, now it appears they are.

Also if anyone has any other accounts coming to an end It might be worth trying giving instructions outside of opening hours, which is what I'm going to do & what I was doing up until the other day.

Opened (maturity instructions) another a few days ago (on a maturity for this Sat). £200 left in, rest to nom. a/c. Mid day. Green jumper

They might also bring out an Issue 5 soon, so anyone with an issue 4 can have an issue 5 alongside it, as well as the Christmas regular saver. Total deposit £550 per month, which is more than a lot of other providers.

First issue 4s expire 28th Feb I believe, so issue 5 around that date and likely to get the heads up around the 20th Feb of / if a new issue launching.

I made my first deposit into my issue 4 on 28 Aug 2025, which seems to match that date

Like others, I received the secure message advising that I can't transfer my account to another Regular Saver Bond because I already hold a bond with the same issue number, and that my instructions have been updated so that my account will close at maturity (tomorrow) and my closing balance will be sent to my nominated bank account.

No problem, except today they sent an SMS saying Your savings account matures tomorrow. Review your options today to avoid moving to one of our lowest interest rates.

I did check to make sure there isn't some other more favourable option I'd missed, but didn't see any way to amend the instructions. Hopefully the funds will land in my current account tomorrow without requiring any further action on my part.

I don't seem to have been rumbled (yet). Mine maturing tomorrow, although I asked for a new Christmas Regular Saver rather than the six month one - I already have two Xmas 3026 Regular Savers.

Will you be available in a 1,000 years to arrange maturity?

Well in 2023 many of us found we'd last logged into YBS's online banking in 2093 so it can be done.

Mine too.

Hope it will be January - given the amount most of us will have coming out of Monmouthshire in August, we don't need any more maturities for that month!

According to my records the issues were launched on the following dates:
Issue 1 - 20th June 2024
Issue 2 - 5th Dec 2024
Issue 3 - 13th March 2025
Issue 4 - 21st August 2025

No Principality message for me or my wife yet. My maturity is the 6th though, which is a weekend day so I don't quite know if / how that may make a difference.
