The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

NebulaNova

Is there a list of the top banks and % offers please, I can't seem to find it on here.

Also, do most of these companies apply interest monthly? Is there a calculator of some sort that can work out how much better of I'd be doing this? Thanks

that will also tell you whether interest is paid monthly or annually for each account.

with regards to a calculator, MSE have one…

Some accounts pay interest monthly, the majority (I think) pay annually.

You need to view the Hanley page in "desktop" mode on a mobile device to see all the options.

In the past I was using Debitcard to pay Skipton RS to meet partial condition of £500 debit card spending for Halifax £5 monthly reward. But this is no longer the case because Halifax scraped its £5 monthly reward a few months ago. Skipton RS Account is one of a few RSs account left that allow people to deposit via debitcard

I just removed my SO instruction from my Bank AC and will do manual FP each month from now on.

yes, I was asked for a statement a number of years ago when I first set up my account. Just posted the statement and had it back almost by return. Don’t know if they accept any other method.

There are a number of reasons why the page fails to present correctly - mostly related to browsers/cookie-settings/script-blocking software and VPNs.

Unfortunately, a lot of website designers fail to check whether their pages render correctly to the standard (e.g. W3C) against multiple browsers e.g. Firefox/Chrome/Safari/etc. and rely on testing against a couple of more common ones only.

If you're experiencing problems its worth using another browser, lowering its security settings, clearing cache etc. I've also found at least two UK-based organisations whose sites simply won't work with a correctly configured VPN.

I have a main browser with strong security settings, and another with virtually none which I use for these poorly-configured sites. It is ironic that to use an online finance site you are forced to lower all security settings because the site is so poorly designed - that may be the case here. In some cases the site security is so poorly designed I simply stopped using it until it improved.

I never use the low-security browser for any other purpose, and I always ensure all data is wiped immediately after use.

Monmouthshire BS Regular saver i9. This is not a top RS as it only pays 5% but withdrawal is allowed. Also if you already have the previous issue, it will not be an additional work, apart from apply and set up the first payment.

I did not see any restriction to apply for this RSA for those who has a previous issue ??

Is my understanding correct ?

Agree with your reading of the terms.

If this had been £500/mth (or more) rather than £250 then might have been useful.
