ING - current rate?

Hi. I've had my cash savings with KE. Most of it was in fixed savings, but some in non-fixed savings. They went bust and ING obviously took over. I know they've said they are going to honour the interest rates on the fixed term accounts, but what have they done in regards to rates on the non-fixed account? Have they dropped them? If so, then Ill take out all my money thats not in a fixed term and save it in a UK bank. Im on the line about whether to take ALL of my money out, but then again I am earning a good amount of interest on the fixed savings.
Ive just updated myself on the thread about KE chapps/BACS payments (or lack of), and it still seems this issue is yet to be resolved. Im hesitant to take any money out from ING until the backlog of people already trying to take money out has been cleared.
I think Im basically asking if ING has dropped the rate on non-fixed savings on ex-KE accounts, and if so, is it considered safe to transfer money away without being caught up with the poor people who have temporarily had their money go missing? Thinking about it, its only BACS and CHAPPS that seem to have gone astray, whereas Ild be doing a direct transfer bewteen accounts. hhmmmmm....

    If you log in to your KE account, you should see the amount of interest which was added to your savings on 31st October.

    thanks Baldur. Ive just logged on and can see the interest paid - although not the interest rate(?). I can also see that no interest has been added to my fixed term accounts. It does say at the bottom - "** The online accrued interest calculation display is being suspended temporarily while system improvements are made. We thank you for your patience."
    There also seems to be 3 debits from my account!? It says TDSI in the description column. what does that mean?

    Ive just seen that TDSI is tax payment on interest. Should have known!
