    I have tried to open a First Direct account to get the £125 for switching but because I had an account with them over 30 years ago (before computers) I wouldn't be classed as a new customer so no joy.

    Seriously, do they remember you?

    I have been with FD for a number of years and find them more than acceptable, particularly their free £250 overdraft.

    No Tesco Current Account on your list? only 2 x £3,000 @ 3% but better than nothing.

    PS. Their online banking has been up the creek for most of today so may be today wouldn't be a good day for applying. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5008465

    Been chasing the best rates for so long I have accounts emptied but not closed from years back when 5% seemed a low rate. Just happened to look at one of them and noticed: no longer available to new customers but still paying an interest rate of 1.5% so for me (having also 4 current accounts) its the next best.
    I just wondered if there is a list of obsolete accounts that pay more than the currently available accounts but are still open to new funds. Who knows I might even have a better one I can use. Finding it is the hard bit.

    Tesco Internet Savings offer 1.5% (it can be used as a current account, but doesn't allow standing orders).

    Is that an obsolete account as per my message? I can only find Tesco at 1.4% for new customers?

    The SAGA Top 5 Tracker account (dating from 2008) has been paying 2.21% for a very long time. Sadly they finally seem to have cottoned on, and I received a letter a few days ago saying the rate will be dropping at the end of February.
