Prospective 'super mutual' Britannia is lowering most of its savings rates by 0.5% from 31 January unless the rate was already too close to zero to allow this.

Has Anyone Closed their £100 Co-op Bank current account
Has anyone closed this account - I opened mine because I was fed up with Natwest and the £100 incentive encouraged me.
