It would be unusual for duration of membership to be determined by the age of your open accounts only, and not any closed accounts providing continuous membership to an earlier date.

In the end, the difference in interest, even maintaining a £100 voting member balance, is going earn you less than a Freddo bar per year, and the risk of limiting customers to one RS is worth weighing, especially if this is the reason you are maintaining the relationship.

Always a risk.

However the 5.75% (currently maturing) issue was offered without excluding those holding the previous 12 month Regular Saver. I held both for a short while.

Don’t forget the website also shows one’s closed accounts.

Therefore it is possible to trace continuity of membership, particularly if ones transfers a small amount of money to the new RS from the former RS/Matured account.

It is generally length of membership that counts, not how long one has had a particular account open.
