Being nosey... How many Regular Saver accounts do you have?

Purpleheart

You can add my 5 as £1350 PCM, includes 1 x £500, 3 x £200 and 1 x £250.

Debating opening a Zopa Biscuit account for the 7% regular saver but that would add an extra current account to the 7 I've already got!

I reached 14 current accounts (with reg.savers and fixed terms open in 27 banks or building soc. starting from scratch a few years ago). There is no law against it  (and made a little fortune switching almost all of them , keeping the oldest one, a Lloyds account opened in 2008, as my main one)

If you don't mind having an extra current account, and are okay with app-only accounts and open banking, it's a nice regular saver to have, good interest rate and speedy transfers. Probably not suitable if you like doing everything by standing order, but the app has some kind of automatic save thing (which I've never actually used).

I now have 6 regular savers and 8 current accounts as I've taken the advice given and opened a Zopa account!

Jolly good! If you could confirm your new per month figure, I'll amend the league table

New figure now £1650.

I'm plus 1 with Progressive - 27 total  £6510 per month - however my Skipton RS matures 7th Nov and I won't be renewing unless it goes over 6% (Base Rate tracker account). But! - waiting hopefully for Scottish BS online RS and Principality Christmas RS while also waiting to hopefully renew current Principality Christmas into another  RS4 (Giving instructions online tomorrow afternoon - As usual last Saturday before maturity wearing Red shirt going for option 4 - never failed yet! - that's probably put the mockers on it!
This thread opened my eyes to one salient fact - where else can i get well over 6% savings interest on £36k with the money not all tied down for a too long a period - in fact a large amount instantly available should the need arise.

Yeah! I'm expecting quite a few updates in the next few weeks (if contributors remember to update their stats), due to recent offerings  .

I'm liking the feedback from several forumites about how this thread has encouraged further RS endeavours (I'm not the OP, so not trying to claim any kudos on this issue). Happy to carry on doing the documentation no matter how small an addition or amendment.

A thought has occurred to me that the "League Table" is becoming quite long and I have pondered on how it could soon become unwieldy in terms of presentation, and what possible solutions could alleviate that. One solution occurred to me .... splitting it into "Divisions", à la Football League. I understand that could prove unpopular if new contributors popped up, or existing contributors added a handful of new RS's, and relegated others on a trickle down basis, causing a decrease in the "fun" element of the League for some!

That solution has an additional problem of how to set the "Division" boundaries. If I followed a Football analogy of a fixed number of forumites in a division, the number of divisions would grow as new "teams" joined in. Or I could set the Divisions by order of magnitude of RS's (base 10) ... so 0-9, 10-19, 20-29 etc. with a variable number of "teams" per division.

These are just my preliminary thoughts and welcome your ideas and suggestions ... even if it's "leave it how it is"!

Edit;  Order of magnitude is not quite the right phrase! Apologies to mathematicians reading the above!

List each declared number once and the names of forumites it applies to in a column beside it?
