surprised he has one of those accounts as I believe the maximum you can deposit is only one billion.

With the YBS Internet Saver going up to 3% next week it feels like now is the time to get the Chorley "Easy Access" Saver closed. The passbook finally arrived this morning, a month after the account was opened and funded.

@PragueAddick Thanks for that. So, unfortunately the email doesn't clarify anything. All we can tell is that it's applied to your (PA's) existing EA ac. Which issue(s) do you have?

Issue 51 Easy Access re my previous entry

Grouchy

I currently am a Charter Savings customer and am thinking about opening an Easy Access account.  I've looked at the documentation but can't find an answer, but when you open the account online - I know there is a $5000 min deposit, but do you have to transfer the £5000 fund immediately to open the account, or can you set the account up and then fund it?  If so how long do you have?

Thanks

As long as you like. You earn 0.1% for balances below £5K and 2.35% for balances of £5K and above. TBH there are far better options out there than 2.35%.

If the current issue (30) increases to 3%, it becomes a better option, although we have no confirmation as of yet if that will be the case.
