    I don't personally judge the interest to be worth the hastle of juggling it around every month, making phone calls, etc, I keep 1 months cash in the current account to avoid overdraft, the rest is in s&s ISA - emergency fund is conservatively invested

    What's that got to do with a thread about missing interest on an account? :(

    Anyway, for those that missed my update on the first page - correct interest was added overnight. :T
    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?

    Mine has been corrected to 0.25 gross and 2.50 bonus. I still don't quite understand why the bonus is not 14X the gross. I expect I'm being dim. anyone care to explain?
    16 Panel (250W JASolar) 4kWp, facing 170 degrees, 40 degree slope, Solis Inverter. Installed 29/9/2015 - £4700 (Norfolk Solar Together Scheme); 9.6kWh US2000C Pylontech batteries + Solis Inverter installed 12/4/2022 Year target (PVGIS-CMSAF) = 3880kWh - Installer estimate 3452 kWh:Average over 6 years = 4400 :j

    My basic 0.10% was correctly credited on the 1st June along with £1.50 bonus interest. I was subsequently credited with £4.00 bonus interest on 5th June. I have recalculated and the interest for May in now correct.

    I still believe there is nowhere else that I can get 1.50% for an easy access regular savings account that allows a lump sum deposit of up to £5,000.

    Ignore that. I didn't see the 0.95 that was incorrect has been left there so bonus = 3.45 which is about right.

    My basic was £0.39 and my bonus was £1.50 plus a £4.00 correction. If I multiply £0.393 by 14, I get £5.50.

    If your interest is calculated the same as mine you should also have an original bonus of about £1.00 posted on 1st June.
