I can't believe I'm considering Marcus for my new money 

Why ?

Have had their easy access savings account for years - no issues whatsoever and my website account is clear,concise and well presented.

Was thinking about their ISA but went with Ford Money instead

Now seen the follow up post - above comment still holds though

All transferred to Trading212 now but interest rate still showing as 4.50% - without the promised bonus apparent.
is this expected?

Have a look at the T&C of the relevant bonus. You generally have to enter a promo code somewhere to qualify within a specified period.

nope, no code to be entered, t and cs not available in account, other than generic transfer form terms, they just flash on screen when applying
and said would get rate at time of initial application  which included any bonus.

What date did you join and open your T212 account and what interest rate are you expecting?

I joined March 24th, there was a 3 month bonus at the time, taking the rate to around 5.02% or so
I did download the terms which are the same as the following link except that the  Validity Period (inclusive): was 14 March 2025 to 31 March 2025

edited to add: I just emailed them. They are looking into it and will get back to me.

Zopa to chip transfer 

after sone time money has gone from Zopa 

but not appeared in chip, hopefully just slow due to the bank holiday weekend and not lost !

This is the same as me.  I requested a transfer on 6th April, and the money finally disappeared from Zopa on 19th but are yet to appear in Chip (presumably due to the bank holiday).  Last October my transfer from Virgin to Zopa took all of 2 days to complete, but it seems Zopa are dragging their heels when it comes to sending money the other way.  That and the fact they don't allow partial transfers out (meaning easy access pot funds are essentially held hostage if you also have a fixed rate pot) have really put me off Zopa; and to think I had high hopes for them in the beginning.

Hopefully my (other) Virgin to Chip transfer goes as quickly as last year's.

Personally I've pretty much abandoned both Zopa and Chip. They seem more interested in attracting new customers than retaining existing ones.

Seems pretty fundamental to me that you should know the interest rate being offered on a product before you apply for it - was never sure with Zopa/Chip so gave up. Monument have most of my ISA cash now (and they transferred my VM ISA cash in a day).

I am transfering out of Zopa. I would have left some money in if I could but their loss. Now I've seen how slow they are I feel no need to use them again. Disappointed that what looks like a digital platform should be so slow compared to VM.
