RegularSaver

When something's worth saving for.

Save any monthly amount from £20 to £500 and you can bank on a competitive variable interest rate plus an annual RegularSaver Bonus.

It’s a great way to save for something special because you can make one annual withdrawal without loss of bonus.

You can vary the amount you save each month, too, so long as you save between £20 and £500 every month, to qualify for the annual Bonus. Only one deposit per month can be made.
