@Bridlington1 - Teachers BS Regular Saver for Everyone (Issue 1) 6.00% AER - £250pm; £3k max; 1 withdrawal; matures into EA account.

Also, a similar RS account for teachers @ 6.50% AER is available too.

A list of the top RSs appears on page 1 of this thread. I basically just stick my money in whichever account pays the highest interest rate, so grab anything I can that makes it worth my while to put my money in them.

Some of them were only been available for a short period of time, occasionally I post a list of all regular savers that are currently available and NLA, see the spreadsheet below:

That was out of the blue. Never expected Teachers offering competitive RS product. I had ISA accounts with Teachers, transferred out a while ago, accounts are closed. I thought I will have to register again, but logging in and applying from there wasn't a problem. I went for 6.50%. Not cheating, I'm a retired teacher so according to t&c I'm qualified. But they didn't ask me for any prove in the application form (my ISA accounts were "for Everyone" so they don't know whether I'm a teacher or not. They might get back to me for a Teachers’ Pension statement, we'll see, but could be a potential loophole😁

Their Holiday Saver RS matured over the weekend. Does anyone know when we can expect the funds to arrive in an external bank account?

Re: LBS, I hoped for today but realistically I expected them to process today with payment in my bank tomorrow.

Problem is no acknowledgement of the instruction so you never know if it's lost in the mail.

Interesting. I've had a quick trawl through their website and can't see anything specific about who would qualify for the 6.5% account. Am I missing something really obvious?

(I have worked in schools for nearly 10 years, but don't have QTS. Currently working for a supply teaching agency. I'd snap up the 6.5% account if I was eligible, but might not bother for 6%…)

Don’t see any ‘confirm’ button after opening any of the three required reading. I am abroad just now though used a VPN for it. May have to give it a miss as not home until mid next week.
