Nationwide is launching a new Loyalty Saver account today that pays a higher rate of interest based on the length of time a customer has been a member of the society. The rates are 2% gross/AER for 5 to 9 years, 2.30% gross/AER for 10 to 14 years and 2.60% for 15 years or more membership. The easy access account can only be opened in branch, with a minimum of £1,000 and there are no withdrawal restrictions.

Skipton Online Saver Issue 2...
(N.B. Issue 1 was withdrawn a few weeks ago and the interest rate for existing customers is dropping from 2.50% to 2.25% shortly...

Online Bonus Saver Issue 1 is 3.05% - what is it dropping to, or were you referring to the "My Savings" account?

Thanks. You are right. I was confusing MySavings (now paying 2.25%) with Online Saver Issue 1 for which I have no news.

I have removed the erroneous information from my post.
