    I have 4 with Nottingham BS, two with Monmouthshire BS, two with Chorley BS - in my name, for the avoidance of doubt. :)

    I've got a few more than that with Notts...

    Also YBS from a former N&P and the YBS normal one.

    Around 40 RS in total.

    Frankly I'd be lost without them.

    ;-)

    Sadly, the Al Rayan 1.6% Everyday Saver is now no longer available to new applicants.

    The rate is maintained for now on existing accounts (new accounts are a paltry 1%).

    Sadly, it might be a signal that they will reduce the interest after sometimes.

    I have diverted one of my BOS SO to Al Rayan. It seems like I might have to divert it again to another AC when the interest drop.

    As its a Sharia account, do they have to reduce the 1.6% for existing customers or do they just pay out less as its not a guaranteed sum or technically interest?

    Yes, they have been consistently offering regular RSs with more generous rates for some time. The merger, and HSBC rate drops might cause a rethink. Make hay while the sun shines everyone! :money:

    They were also the only provider that I had an account with that raised the RS interest when the BoE increased the base rate last year. My E-Saver Issue 10 went from 2.25% to 2.5%, can't see that happening after they merge somehow.

    The predicted profit on issue 1 is still 1.6%
