Current interest rates - Egg, Tesco & Natwest

nzseries1

I opened my Tesco Internet Saver account on 6-Nov-08. The rate was 6.5%.
On 27-Nov it dropped to 6%.
8-Jan it dropped to 5.1%.
5-Feb it dropped to 4.0%.
5-Mar it dropped to 3.25%.
Interest on this account is paid 31 March each year.

Can't help you with the others sorry.

I opened a Natwest esavings late October/early November when I thought it was promising approx 6% for a year. Are they still paying this rate on my savings?

I opened a Tesco online savings which at the sametime was also offering approx 6%. Are they still paying this rate on my savings, and when does interest get credited as I haven't received any for 40k since November

I have an Egg savings which I believe offered somewhere between 4-6% for a year from opening. I opened it in June. Was this rate fixed or variable?

Here are links to the relevant pages on the egg and natwest sites.

Nat West are relaunching their E-Saver account tomorrow (29th Sep) with a headline rate of 2.8% for 12 months:j. However, because the interest rates are tiered, to get that rate you have to put in £50k :mad: Below that you only get 2.55% which is less than the AA, Post Office, Santander etc. who apply their rates from £1 upwards at their headline rate.

There is a thread on these new RBS/NatWest accounts here.

My understanding is that the RBS Direct Saver has stepped rates but the NatWest e-Savings account does not. Looks like a no-brainer... :j

Because I believe I hooked into 1 year rates, for which I believe the offers have now ended. I am not entirely sure I am getting the rates (6%ish) I should be getting

I don't know anyone offering 6% even for a fixed rate for 5 years. I had a one year account with Egg paying 3.25% which was good for instant access but it has now ended and I am moving my money elsewhere.
