Is this for the Issue 2 and for existing customers?

Yep, received a letter today. The bonus is fixed at 2.5% but the variable rate part is dropping from 0.4% to 0.3%. It comes into effect from 2nd January.

With Regular Saver rates in decline, 2.8% is still very good in the current climate. Unusually for a Regular Saver, you can also make fairly substantial monthly deposits in this one (£1000 per month for a joint account).

New or old, doesn't matter - this account is NOT a Regular Saver, so not for this thread. Although it might be of interest to those with young kids who want to stash up to £5K/yr away and don't expect to need more than 1 withdrawal a year.

I know some folk on here go a long way to get good interest rates, opening multiple current accounts etc. but having kids to get it seems a tad over the top! :rotfl:

They seem quite picky on ID. I might hold off, just for now.
