For all the super-stingy money savers out there.
I have a Norwich and Peterborough current account with an attached Easy Saver, which was created when a regular saver expired. The interest rate is pants, so I don't keep any money in there. Yet after I'd emptied it, 1p popped up a few weeks later. I moved it into the current account.
A month later I was credited with another penny, and to this day I haven't managed to keep the account clear. Perhaps they can't round down the 0.0000001p interest from having a penny in there for a week, so round it up!
So that's 12p a year just for having the account :T

I can see a diligent N&P staff member spending a couple of hours right now to see how many are affected. Whats the reverse of penny shaving?! ;-)
I had a (12 month) N&P family regular saver from April 2013 and they were kind enough to continue to let it roll (but at a reduced 3.35%) after 12 months.0 -
