    I have a Club Lloyds Premier account. It would have been nice if Lloyds had bothered to inform their customers of this rather than let them read about it here first.
    I assume this has been verified as true as the website is still advertising the 4%. Rather misleading to potential new customers if the rate is to drop within the next 3 months.

    with tsb doing the same,5%>3%, and only £1500, I will just shut them all down, p*** poor rates, not worth the hassle.
    In all combined, the saving is peanuts, won't have to bother with all the dd's with other bank then, as they will be next,T, on their current a/cs.
    sign of the times
    updating.my paper work is going down drastically:)

    joe134, where did you hear this? I haven't heard that TSB have confirmed any changes.

    Daily Mail today.Expect the usual comments about a proper paper:They 've been correct everytime so far
    I suppose LLoyds A/c will have to be cancelled in writing, because of the fee, waived if monthly payment met??
    looks likes a new car instead.

    I only switched my current account from Smile to Halifax Current Reward Account in branch yesterday and they didn't mention anything about this?

    In one way it'll benefit me because I'll earn 2% per month instead of 1% like I am at present.

    However it's a massive blow for those who get 4% between £4-£5,000.

    Tesco Bank still offer up to 3% on balances up to £3,000-I wonder if they'll be next in line?
