    I undersatnd the previous issue of Halifax Regular saver : No withdrawal. But early closure is allowed.


    There is a new REgular saver paying a better interest rate of 2.5%

    https://www.halifax.co.uk/savings/accounts/fixed-term/regular-saver/#



    Has anyone manged to close the oldRS and open a new one immediately to get a better interest rate ? Thanks


    The old one is the same 2.5%. What is the point to close it?

    It depends which old one you have. You'll have to check the conditions.

    Yes! And we used the passbooks for the earlier regular saver to check for membership details.

    I had one paying 2% which matured last month, so it started paying 2.5% sometime within the last year
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Surely your old one must be maturing soon? I think you can close the old one if you like, but the penalty will be you cannot open a new one until a year after you opened the old one.

    Despite this term, my understanding is that you can open a new one within those 12 months. ;)

    Having said all that, if your account is due to mature within the next couple of months @ 2% then surely it's worthwhile to keep it open up until maturity - unless they pay interest correctly up until day of closure?

    I just called them a few minutes ago. She said you could only have one monthly RS at a time. But it is aloowed to close the old one and open the new one at the time of application.

    I just wonder does anyone else have regular monhtly saver i1 running pararel at the same time with regular monhtly saver i2 under the same name ? Thank

    The person on the phone is incorrect. The T&Cs state only if you have an Issue 2 you cannot have another Issue 2.

    As the above link shows, you can only have one Issue 2 account at a time.

    The rules say:

    "You can only hold one account in your name, unless you are acting as a trustee. If you are named on more than one Monthly Regular Saver: Issue 2 account (excluding accounts opened on a trustee basis), the most recent account opened will be transferred to the Triple Access Saver."

    I have the Yorkshire 2% Regular saver and I opened an Issue 2 in a branch on the day it was launched, using my 2% regular saver passbook as part of my evidence of who I was.

    The member of staff I spoke to said that they'd anticipated that the Issue 2 would be most popular with the customers who already had the 2% Regular Saver. :)

    Re the YBS monthly reg saver i2, at the top of the application form are you meant to fill out the account number and date opened for any other existing YBS account to help them ID you or is it to leave blank for them to complete with your new i2 account details?
