Suffolk building society
Online regular saver maturity question.
I have an online version (5% FIXED 14 MONTH UNTILL END OF AUG 26) of one of their regular savers, which I've only funded for the first few months, but l can't see if it will morph into an easy access account on maturity.
So far, all the regular savers lve had with other BS/Banks have been converted into an easy access account.
Does this one?

You're sure it's not 31/07/26 or 30/09/26? Anyway, the terms on the ones I've looked at all say we'll be contacted with options 14 days before maturity. You can find links to the T&Cs in the Archived Regular Savers thread.
"What happens at the end of the fixed rate period?
We will contact you 14 days before maturity. We will:
• Provide information on how you can access your funds, close your account, or continue to save with us.
• Give you a time frame in which to decide."
The default is probably easy access, "…how you can access your funds."

Yeah my bad, 30/9/26.
Have never been able to access the archived RS thread since being on the forum. Phone blockes me.
Ok, thanks for the reply anyway. I'll just wait and see then.

6.5% was for Teachers and 6% was open to everyone/all.

Yes; OP: "Was the 6.5% RS that just got pulled out only for teachers?" Me: "Yes, but there was also a 6% version open to everyone."

That's really good to hear. I'm hoping that now they've managed to get my applications out of the system that I'll be up and running next week, allowing the TSB the 3 working days to now set things up. First in - last out 😅.
The Principality issue with returned SO payments for my RS's this month has now been resolved. Principality are on a ID check phase. Never had one until now and I can now pay in. If there are any further issues, I'll personally be knocking them on the head. I think it may have been triggered because I closed my soon to be maturing 6 month RS @7.1% 2 days early, then opened a 6 month RS @ 5% which I then decided to close because I could use the money elsewhere at a better fixed rate.

Still no email from Teachers…

I got a call yesterday from Teachers, seems my application(s) got blocked because I applied for both and they were asking me to pick one. I said I wanted both but kept saying that the 6.5 one is better and could not understand me wanting both. It seemed to be sorted and I got confirmation on email for both accounts applications.
Today I have got two sign ons though, which is weird, cant understand why they cant be under one, better than nothing. Now to try and fund them.

I've not had an email from Teachers BS either.
I'm going to make the same plea I've made for other building societies in the past though which is please do not pester them for updates at this stage. Behind the scenes there's probably some poor sod rushed off their feet trying to get through all these applications as quickly as they can. If people start phoning for updates it only takes away time which would've been spent dealing with the application thus slowing things down further.
I've been in similar positions at work and trust me there's nothing more irritating than trying to get on with work but then people are phoning you every 2 minutes asking you for updates. Also if any of their staff email you please do not reply just to say "thank you", as it's another email they have to process and really irritates me at work so may well do the same for them.
My approach is therefore simply going to be "do nothing and wait for them to contact me" so that they can get on with it.
