Max deposit 10K and a rate of 5.3%. Just a tad above the best 2 and 3 yr fixes but with an expected base rate rise forthcoming, may not be competitive for very long. I'll wait and see what happens to rates in the next week or so. Link

Welcome to this thread.

Dear All, we're looking into putting aside some savings, roughly around £600/month, and maybe moving in a pre-existing amount of £5,00 - £10,000 or so. Many high rates (~4.5 - 5%) for flexible cash saving accounts offer this boosted rate only for the first 12 months. While reading the forum, I got the impression that there…

Surprised by the lack of outrage that tax on savings income (over PSA) has just been increased to an extra 4% above current rates from April 27.

I've been reviewing my Savings accounts looking for better deals and signed up for a Cahoot Sunny Day account. All went well and I was able to move trivial amounts between it and my current account (from a mainstream bank) in both directions OK. Then I looked at the Trustpilot reviews of Cahoot. They are terrible! I nearly…

So I'm having a nightmare logging in - it wants to call my phone so I can verify a code - trouble is their call is going straight to voicemail!!!! I called the helpline and they got me to check some settings on my phone and clear my chrome cache (I explained I wasn't using my phone to log in) and asked me to try again.…

(Santander added to thread title) OK not necessarily officially dormant, but I've received an email from Cahoot this evening offering £50 for funding a disused savings account with £100 and keeping it there until the end of the month. This looked suspicious, not least because I don't recognise the account number it quoted!…

I have CMC and Hargreaves Lansdowne accounts for trading shares in ISA and SIPP respectively. However they don't give access to the full market, many US smallcaps are missing from these platforms. This has resulted in a few missed opportunities. Are there any UK trading platforms that cover the whole US market including…

It was only a matter of time. Personally I've never minded the off-topic comments in the main threads to discuss top easy access and regular savings accounts, but I can see it's becoming a greater problem given that there just isn't a whole lot going on in the top end of the savings accounts market right now and possibly…

I see that this fund is available on the platform, but it seems to be listed in Euros. Can it be bought in GBP, and if so, how do I change the currency?

If profit from a Sharia compliant bank is rolled back for several years to add to the capital, does the profit from each year need to be added together for UK tax purposes when all the money is withdrawn?
