I like to know what bank and interest rate people are getting

For me

ISA - Manchester 3.01%, AA 3.35%
Savings - Anglo Irish 1.84% Net, Natwest E-saver 0.8% Net, Sainsburys E-saver 0.08% Net, Santander E-saver 0.08% Net, NS and I (£100 Minimum) 0.24% Net
Current account- Halifax 5% Net, Natwest 0.08% Net, Santander 0.08% Net, Barclay 0.08% Net

You can list the amount you have in each account if you want.

    hey, I see in the post above you also have the Santander Zero Current account which pays 5% interest on up to a maximum balance of £2500 in the first year.

    I signed up for this by switching my current current account literally 2 months ago.

    I actually had a balance on average for the first month up to their limit to get the 5% interest and correctly received the £5 interest that month for doing so, however this month I just received my interest 2 days ago and accidently I had an average balance this month of around £4000-£6000 and do you know what I received over £10 and that includes their reduction in tax. SO what this means is although they say there is a limit of £2500 to get the 5% and any more balance you get no interest is complete rhubarb, anyone else noticed this cos it's definately working like this for me and will be trying to work out what the real limit is to maximise my returns. I've been searching online for the answer to this but found no one talking about it. I'm sorry but Santander for me rock, their customer service is not the best but they obviously want money and are being nice to me in many ways and therefore that makes me like them cos usually banks are exactly the opposite to me.

    If it's a Preferred Current Account you won't get 5% on it if you're not paying £1,000 into it (if you don't pay in the min £1K, you won't get any interest at all on the whole balance). Their website states "5% AER (fixed) for 12 months on balances up to £2,500 when you pay in at least £1,000 per 30 days. After 12 months, this rate changes to 1% gross/AER (variable). A £2 underfunding fee will apply in any month that you cannot pay in at least £1,000" .

    I'm not sure about that ... http://www.halifax.co.uk/savings/interest-rates/personal-rates/#Halifax_ISA_Direct_Reward says 'UK annual rates for accounts opened after 1st August 2011'.

    Looks like existing customers hold the old rates, but probably worth checking on online banking tomorrow.
