Zopas blog says they raised £75m so they might not need need any more and be content with lower rates now. 

Time to take money out of Zopa again. It's really sad that here we all are raving about 'top rates' of 3.1 - 3.25% if you are lucky when the base rate is 4%. We are really living in pathetic times. Inflation at 11% this is savings confiscation

I'm not going to hold out much hope on Zopa so I plan to move money to Tandem. I'm planning to move money from Natwest to Tandem but as they're not part of COP I'm assuming that like with Chase last year I'm going to have issues with payments being blocked.

Can I ask, if I use Open Banking to pull money from NW to Tandem, is it still possible that payments will get blocked temporarily for security reasons (or less likely at least?).

Yes, unfortunately your payments through OB can still be blocked. In my experience, though, it happens much less frequently. Only this morning, I was unable to get money out of Starling by Faster Payment but it worked like a dream with OB (into Tandem, as it happens). It's a matter of trying. Good luck.

Can I ask, how long did payments into Tandem take to show? (I mean the ones that weren't held up for any reason). I noticed on their website it says that most payments arrive and show within 2 hours but can take up to 24 hours, so hearing anyone's typical experience would be helpful. Thanks

Around 10 mins max in my experience. Similar for withdrawals.

I opened the Triple Access Saver yesterday, Sunday, and have deposited the minimum £5,000 required this morning.

Looks like I timed it well if Skipton have now withdrawn that particular savings product?

The account is there but when you try to apply ------------ you can`t.

Yes, when I click the link you supplied, it’s saying that particular account is no longer available:

 

“Sorry...

Unfortunately the account that you are looking for is no longer available.”

Correct, I`ve just been speaking to them and it has been withdrawn.
I`ll just have to give Paragon or Sainsbury`s my hard earned instead.
