Has anyone noticed .......

Which savings rates have gone down and which ones haven't following the recent rate cut. B & B e-saver issue 3 is still showing 6.51% AER., don't know if they intend to reduce though as there is no information on their website

Baldur

No mention yet about B&B withdrawing/reducing on eMoneyfacts but a number of fixed-rate products are mentioned.

In the past savings rates always came down promptly afer a rate change but now there is a reality gap between the Bank of England rate and the markets.

I seem to remember a bunch of fixed rate deals getting reduced, there is a thread on them somewhere, but the variable rate ones have been slow to react. They are still desperate for our cash.

EDIT: Baldur's link is the one I was thinking of from the other thread. Useful site that one.

With the emoneyfacts page it now has an annoying habit of 'jumping' to the top whenever one of the 'boxes' updates (on a cycle) I've found - as a bit of a fix to this - that if I select 'work offline' that kills the behaviour (no data being received) but then when you want to 'read more' by clicking on a link you have to change back to 'work online' and refresh

I found that annoying as well. If you are using firefox, and have the NoScript add-on, the constant updating of data at the top of the page is blocked and you don't then get the 'jumping' you mention.

Whilst a few savings rate changes occur immediately following Base rate change, most ( not all) take effect from the start ( ish) of the month following the base rate change. Some savings providers delay announcements until they have seen what the competition are doing.

You can also fix it by blocking the script using various adblockers or security software. The filter I use in adblock plus is:

Ah, but did anyone notice that NS & I dropped their rates BEFORE the base rate drop was announced?

eMoneyfacts have now identified this problem and it should be fixed within the next week.
