The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

Am I right in thinking that you can send £10 to Suffolk and leave it there (not £10 per month) and that you can still open future issues as you wish? 28.2.27 would work well for me and 5% fixed is the kind of rate that might look good in a few months time, while not being particularly appealing right now.

Suffolk BS are to launch new issues of their Online and branch/post fixed rate regular savers shortly.

The new accounts shall pay 5% fixed (same as the current issues) but with new maturity dates of 28/2/27.

Is there definitely going to be an online one?

Yes. Just called for branch/postal version application pack and asked about online. Told being refreshed right now and should be available later today.  Ok to have both.

My understanding is that there is a minimum funding requirement of £10 a month. I think there is some past discussion on here about what happens if this requirement is not satisfied.

DudleyBS Festive Regular Saver Online - 1176

Called Dudley branch; sounds like they impose a quota on the number of applications. Dudley person not aware of any website issues.

I spoke to them this morning and they are currently working through a backlog of online applications.

Apparently, having an application referred disables your internet banking access as well!

DBS Head office tell me this morning, application is paused due to 'inundation' and will be relaunched once backlog is cleared.

Am I right in thinking you can email a copy of the application form to Suffolk?

yes you can.

Download the application form by clicking this link. Complete it by typing into the boxes, then print and sign it (handwritten forms are also accepted). You can then email it to us or pop into branch.

Yes. I have done so for the past few applications. Best to ask if your ID is OK with them or if they require any further recent documents to accept your application and to update ID held.

West Brom Reg Saver Iss 7
My account matures 6th Jan and automatically becomes an Access Reg Saver.
Given the fact that they only operate on a branch visit basis I was concerned as I'm nowhere near any branches.
Into that might be useful for others..... I called them today and good news.....they can close the account over the phone when I'm ready.
