Re Skipton tracker base rate -0.90% discontinued.

Does this mean the best EA rates will have a ceiling at about 3.0% to 3.1% until the next BoE decision?

I opened a Skipton ISA account online on 2nd Feb.

Will I still be entitled to the rate 0.9% points below the BoE rate (i.e. 3.1%)?

If it's Issue 3 then yes, it's guaranteed for 24 months

Yes.
On mine, the rate did not appear until I made a small deposit, but I opened mine last night and the correct rate is now showing

How instant is Skipton with their transfers? Got the account with £1 sitting in it. Got most parked in Kroo at the moment, which works fine but the app is still lagging but transfers in and out are almost instant.

Same day for me, an hour or so, with 2 transfers in and 2 out

put another £1 in this morning and it took about 20 minutes; added a five-figure sum in later and it took 70 mins.

What's a good alternative to Marcus? I already have Tandem, Chase and Atom.

Kent Reliance 3% Same day transfer but not weekends.

Ah Ha!
It is 2.47% for new customers but 3% for existing customers, so I am the lucky one.
