    Which account is paying the highest interest that is accessible via an app?
    My guesses - 

    Nationwide, FlexDirect - 5% (for up to £1500)
    Chip - 3% (for up to £lots)
    Though Nationwide is only for a year.

    Club Lloyds monthly saver is at 5.25% though (£400/mth max)

    Isn't the Club Lloyds Monthly saver a regular saver account rather than easy access?

    Barclays Rainy Day saver is 5.12%

    OP should have been more clear about the requirements of the easy access saver, e.g. if there is an amount of money which needs to be deposited.
  • Plus up to 11th Feb, Chip is paying the 3% as a bonus, which I believe can only be withdrawn upon full removal of funds. From 11th it will be 3% interest and that can be removed any time.

    I do like Shawbrook (when they are not inundated).  

    Saw this update this morning and logged in to message Shawbrook to convert the existing EA account to Issue 32.  Just had a look and all done.  Happy camper.

    Apparently so according to comments earlier today (ranciduk 12:12). 
    £1k minimum is for the 2.92%. <£1k = 0.05%.

    thanks - I must have missed that post... looking back at previous statements from when I last had a Shawbrook account, I was able to fund with a £1 test deposit.

    Surely Zopa - 2.86% to 3.26%

    First Direct - 7% (£300 pcm)

    The 7% First Direct is definitely not an easy access account.
