kaupthingedge - new lower rate?....

have just checked my KE account.. im sure it was 6.55% gross rate... today its says:

Gross interest rate * 4.55%

* The gross rate is compounded monthly achieving an AER rate of 4.55%. For further interest rate information, please see our Terms and Conditions.
** The online accrued interest calculation display is being suspended temporarily while system improvements are made. We thank you for your patience.

So are they just going to have the same low rates as ING? i was a ING customer, but i guess im now back on there rates and in a round-a-bout way, still their freking customer!

    I expected that it would happen eventually. Having said that, on my login screen still shows Gross rate as 6.36 with the phrase :

    Maybe mine just hasn't been updated yet ?

    That is a real kick in the teeth from ING. A really good reason for getting my money out to get 6.4% AER fixed till about May next year from Coventry BS. Or maybe investing in funds is a good idea. If ING think they have been busy with withdrawals from KE they haven't seen anything yet as news of this gets around.

    Mine is the old style account with email address login, and it definately still says 6.55% AER when I login.
  • so.. where is the next best saving place to go with close to the original 6.55%?

    That's strange, definitely keep an eye on it.

    Just rang up. It's a shame really, their customer service is really good.
