    Does Moneybox automatically apply the new interest rate to accounts opened before the small increase?

    Anyone recieved the £25 bonus from moneybox by opening a new cash or S&S ISA and funding £500 before end of Jan?  
    No, still waiting with fingers crossed.
    I was thinking the same yesterday and went back to check the T&Cs. Its 30+(up to)7 days after either end of Jan or when the transfer was completed, which ever is later. So I am assuming it will be this Friday now.

    It does not look like they have changed the base interest rate, only the bonus rate has increase from 0.94 to 0.96. I doubt this increase will be passed to existing accounts.

    I messaged them about this and was told that the bonus would be in my account this week.

    I got excited about this until I read on Chip's summary page that they reserve the right to change the tracking offset with 14 days' notice. So it's potentially nothing more than a variable rate account with less mandatory admin for them every time they want to reduce whenever the base rate changes!
