Neither was I. Where and how was this rate drop communicated?

It is in pale grey text in the app above the current interest rate under 'Interest on Cash' option.

This reduction is on their cash account not their ISA. 

Where are you seeing it doesn't apply to the ISA ? - I'm seeing stated on all different accounts on the app.

You are correct it seems to be across all accounts:

Thanks, not a place I check often. USD rates are also dropping and at the last rate drop for Euros I got an email so a bit strange that there is nothing this time for GBP. 

Of course sad to see the drop coming into effect now but they held it rather high for longer than expected and it will be still above BOE rate so can't complain too much. Still, almost half a quid less per day in returns. 

Moneybox still offers their Cash ISA at 5.17% variable. I opened the Moneybox Cash ISA last March speculatively when it was on offer and put the minimum of 500 into it and they haven't changed the rates since. Moneybox also allows transfers in for cash and stocks & shares ISA's from Trading212.

So for flexibility and to benefit from higher rates for longer, it might make sense to open Moneybox and transfer 500 in to keep a second option. How easy and smooth a transfer from Tradinf212 to Moneybox is, I don't know. Will Moneybox reduce their rates soon, I don't know either. 

Downsides of Moneybox are that interest isn't paid daily and annul instead, projected interest isn't FSCS protected. Also 3 withdrawals only without impact to interest rates, not flexible.
