Club Lloyds Monthly Saver Interest Rate

I recently opened a Club Lloyds account and took out the Regular Monthly Saver account with an advertised rate of 4%.

On logging into my account the interest rate stated is only 0.25%. I know the interest is added at the end of the year but is there any reason they have the rate applied so low?

    Lucky you, at least yours shows 0.25%! Mine, which matures end of the month, says "% gross interest rate
    For information on your interest rate, please visit our savings website."

    Seems they are in a bit of a mess, but I am quite relaxed that they will pay the advertised 4%. Nonetheless, I'd take it up with them if I were you.

    I wonder if you've inadvertently opened a "Club Lloyds Saver", which does indeed pay 0.25% AER on balances from £1-1,499...

    The good news is that once you get to £1,500+ you'll get 0.6% AER. ;)

    The email I received after applying stated I had opened a Club Lloyds Saver (Annual).

    Looks like I have indeed opened the wrong account.:o

    At least you've found the problem so you can go ahead and open the Monthly saver and benefit from the 4% afterall. :D
