How long before YBS follow the rate rise?
Comments

If they don't raise by the full 0.25% this time I'll be looking to transfer.0

ditto - Kent reliance and NS&I have already upped leaving YBS trailing significantly now.2 + 2 = 4
except for the general public when it can mean whatever they want it to.0 -
Another vote for "ditto" here too. KRBS seem very much on the ball with rises but on the differential prior to to-days increase I don't think it was worth losing interest to transfer but if YBS take the p1ss again it certainly will be.
BTW KRBS website is still showing 5.96% effective from 1.6.07 - have they inreased it the full 0.25 to 6.21%?0 -

I think I'll be telling YBS to get stuffer very shortly!2 + 2 = 4

I think they're delaying until after the 2/8/07 BofE meeting so that, if there's another 0.25% increase, they can raise their rate by that and conveniently forget last month's increase.
I have the below page bookmarked now - I may be needing it shortly!
