    I had a look online at my Chorley account this morning but its too early to show yet on my list of accounts - we have to be patient.

    I think it needs to be added manually to your online banking. i.e. it won't be added automatically like other mainstream banks/building societies. I'm pretty sure you need to contact them with your account details for them to add it to your online banking (once the account's been opened/passbook received).

    Maybe a moderator could split the above conversation into a new thread, since it is a general banking issue, rather than being related to regular savers.

    I have moved the post to a new thread

    For those of you who've already made the maximum payments this should be done now.

    Thanks. I have cancelled my standing order for July for Leeds Building Society RS 5. Total of £3000 has been paid in, after June payment.. Maturity is 2nd July.

    Really impressed with the speed and efficiency of Saffron B/S. Went into branch and received passbook for FR RS and supporting paperwork within a week.

    Letter from Bucks today to say they changing their 'Regular Saver Local and Members' on July 1st to "Regular Saver Locals". Their summary sheet leaves several unanswered questions, as terms and conditions are not the same as the previous account. Access to the new account seems to be only by involuntary transfer from the existing account.

    I understand that they are doing exactly the same with anyone holding the old Chiltern Gold Builder accounts.

    So it would seem that they will no longer allow anyone to open the Regular Saver Locals (or Locals and Members) after 01 July, leaving only their simple regular saver (1.5%) still on sale - unless of course they are changing that too.

    My Leeds 5 has a maturity date of August 1st (or so I thought but have I got that wrong...) I have already made the 12th payment so I am also at the £3k level - you have got me wondering now... have to go and have a look.

    I opened mine on 4/7/17 and the maturity date - per my record - is 2/7. My balance too is £3K.

    On Monday you should get the follow-up letter beginning with "We're sorry..." and giving further details!

    Mine is also 3k, with a maturity date 2nd July, I had to reread the post as I thought you were mentioning Issue 4 withdrawal which wont hit £6k till next August but need to do this withdrawal next month.

    With Bucks changing name, Im still waiting for Chorley, and of course the arrival of the new Virgin RS, I have cashed in Issue 4 Branch, and made my final payment into Issue 5 Online...

    Its a balancing act this RS malarky

    One improvement is that the "Regular Saver Locals" allows a higher monthly payment of upto £500, as opposed to the current max of £250.
