Lost track of Regular Savers current rates

Hi

Open several RS's as I know alot of people have, but I have recently lost track of their current rates and I am getting confused by visiting their websites as I don't know if the new issues of these is the current rate I am getting

Can someone update me on what the current rate is for the following and if they are variable or fixed? Thanks

Lloyds
A+L
Halifax
Ipswitch BS
Stroud and Swindon BS
Yorkshire BS

    Thats brilliant, thanks!!:beer:

    Can I just ask where you got the info from, so if I need to look again I can find it? If it was from various sources, don't worry, just thought I might have been missing out on a good website

    Learning point:
    Make a note of the full name of any account including its issue number.
    This enables you to check later on regarding rates.

    Also note whether it is fixed or variable at the start and how long the fixed element lasts and what happens at the end of any initial period and when that is.

    Sorry if the above sounds like just stating the obvious.

    As long as the numers work, I go with it.

    I have a hard enough time remebering all the passwords and account numbers!

    Are we sure about these rates? LloydsTSB says 8% *fixed*, but when I started mine this time last year it was 7% fixed. Now, I assume that "fixed" means that I'm still getting 7%, but their website only lists the current 8% rate and it doesn't mention anything about previous rates.

    That's why I wrote:

    And why RayWolfe said "Keep records".
