    Where have you found a rate of 3% if you don't mind me asking?

    Tesco, BoS.
    4% @ Lloyds. 5% @ Nationwide & TSB

    All the above are current accounts, each with its own T&Cs.

    up to 5% is available on various regular savers.

    Lots of information on this forum & on the main site.

    I thought the post mentioned 3% specifically , and as he can have£20000 in 123 account, I thought he was putting money in an account which would give him 3% Gross or 1.8% net as he said.

    Thank you. What account is £21000 at 3% please, as that is the one I don't know about.

    I switched on the first day of the month and noticed that I got £2 interest instead of the normal £50 for the previous month. I contacted customer services who raised a case number and today I received a letter apologising and got my £50 back.
