    Just a reminder that the Welcome to Newbury account will be rising to 3.15% today.

    Hi, I thought that might be interesting, but ultimately i'm not interested, because it doesn't pay monthly interest...

    The Marcus 0.25% bonus is back today!!!

    Won't affect those that already had it, as rate with bonus remians at 2.5%
    Existing customers can renew for a further year bonus.
    I noticed this today as well - I've been checking on an occasional basis. Makes you wonder if they are about to make any more changes - like a long overdue interest rate increase maybe? (I'm not holding my breath!) 
    🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

    Not investing anymore in there over and above the £1 I’ve left in there until they up their game. Must try harder Marcus!

    The only thing that's changed is it was 2.25 plus bonus now 2.50 with bonus and they've opened the bonus up again so we can extend it, they need to get their finger out and put their rates up :)
