The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

Suffolk

Even for those with other accounts, the matured/closed account doesn't show online once it disappears at maturity. I'm hoping that they will send me a paper statement for the closed account showing the interest added at maturity. Although I have ensured that the closing interest (calculated by subtracting the amount deposited from the maturity proceeds paid out) has been entered in my own record of interest paid in tax year 26/27, I like to have something I can refer to in case my interest total entered at SA is ever challenged.

I was thinking the same - have just checked both for CoP and neither passed, so i'll try the 1008 account again tomorrow.

I have two Principality 6 month regular savers - issues 4 & 5 - coming up to maturity, and for the first time in quite a long while, it doesn't appear that I will be opening replacements. Their regular saver offerings seem to have gone through the floor since those were opened!

I had the same experience, 5% was the best on offer.

I closed ALL of my regular savers but just couldn't resist the Santander 8% offer. So I don't get tempted further I'm gonna set my minimum to 8%......that should ensure that I don't open many more. 😁

Re Suffolk. Thank you, very useful.

Is the signed form a letter from you or is there a form somewhere?

And do they send a cheque or can they transfer to another account with them?

I have already sent my initial deposit earlier today using 1008 and its already credited, you are good to use that

🤣 That should definitely do the trick, but you never know.

I hadn't intended going on with Santander RS which matured in May, but the 8% couldn't be resisted by me either. At least I now have something filling in July's gap for next year.

You could put £10 in their EA postal account @ 1.6%!
Out of curiosity, what are these low-interest accounts for? Who would invest £500,000 at 1.6%? Just easy access? They all seem to have them.
