I hope so. YBS have yet to announce their savings rate increases, following the BOE base rate increase to 5.00% earlier this month.Please call me 'Kazza'.0 -
Now there's a nice surprise! Although it's a variable rate account, I always considered it was a de facto fixed rate. I was quite happy earning 6% on what can turn into quite a sizeable pot over a period of time (because there is no sweep-out).
Well done Scarborough.0 -

Well, according to my savings spreadsheet, the Scarborough did not increase the rate on the My Savings Regular Saver at all when we had last quarter percent interest hike in August 2006.
They probably felt they had to do something this time, given the number of other Regular Savers that have come to the market since (eg Yorkshire RS).
But I'm not churlish, I like regular savers, particularly the ones that you can keep going beyond a year. It's a good way to make you save when you might not otherwise bother moving small sums of money from your current account.
So, well done Scarboro'! Here's to saving! :beer:"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm" (Sir Winston Churchill)0
