Skipton Building Society is offering customers the opportunity to earn 7.5 per cent gross pa/AER on their regular savings.
The Member Regular Saver account is open to members who joined on or before May 31, 2023.
They can save from £1, and deposit up to £250 per calendar month.
There is no minimum monthly deposit for this account.
The regular savings account can be opened and managed online, over the phone, by post or in branch

Any unused monthly allowances not utilised can be rolled over to future months, up to a maximum of £3,000 over the 12-month period.
The interest rate is fixed for 12 months, but no withdrawals are allowed during this time.
Early closure is allowed, however, so people who really need the money can close the account if they really need to.
Interest is earned daily and paid on the anniversary of the account opening.
If the maximum £250 was deposited into the account on the first day of each of the 12 months, the estimated balance at the end of the fixed term would be £ 3,121.
This includes the £3,000 deposited in the savings account plus £121 of interest.
The account is only available to UK residents who are aged 16 or over, and they must hold a continuous membership with Skipton Building Society, starting on or before May 31 this year, with a minimum balance of £1.
The account can be opened and managed online, over the phone, by post or in branch.
