It isn't displayed in the Account Summary

I'm inclined to think that it ought to be mandatory for all internet accounts to display their current rate when you log in - I can think of very few that do though.

Totally agree. In an internet world, there is simply no excuse for banks and building societies not to be displaying the most salient facts affecting a savings account, and ever-changing interest rates has to be one of the most important.

Agree entirely. Yorkshire Building Society do on all three online account I have with them. Saga do as well. I can't check N Rock as I've gone and locked myself out by mistyping a security word :embarasse so waiting for something in the post to get it going again.

Bad luck on NR lockout,
i just logged into NR to check for you, and no, it doesn't display the rate anywhere,
