    Thankyou for your reply.
    I don't think so. This rate is fixed for first 12 months and then reverts to 1% gross p.a./ AER variable afterwards.

    Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I shall stay as I am.

    Why not take 5% for 12 months? You can consider your options when the 12 months deal comes to an end.

    Your options:
    1. 0% on £2,500 for the next 12 months = £0.00
    2. 5% on £2,500 for the next 12 months = £122

    Your choice?

    Even if your balance isn't a permanent £2,500, it is good practice to use an interest paying current account.
