Not better but as of today Tandem Bank are offering 3.2% on their Easy Access account.

Will the new Tandem rate apply to existing accounts? It's still showing 3.05% on my account in the app, including the top up.

Does that only apply to new accounts as my one I opened last week still shows 3.05% when I check the app.

Last time Tandem increased the rate, it wasn't until the next day that the app updated for existing accounts.

This looks like they're increasing the variable bonus rate now.

From their site:

WHAT IS THE INTEREST RATE?

Your underlying interest rate is 2.85% AER* / 2.81% Gross** (variable)

If a Top Up is applied to your account:

Your Top Up is 0.35% AER*(variable)
Your total interest rate is 3.20% AER* / 3.15% Gross** (variable)

The app may not update for existing customers until the next day, but the new rate is effective from the current day (as with new accounts).

Is there anyone getting better than 3.2% on any access account? This is what my existing Charter Savings Bank easy access issue 28 is now at. 

It's effectively a 1 day notice account though given the clumsy way withdrawals operate. 

YBS Loyalty Six Access eSaver paying 3.5%

But sticking with YBS, their rainy day saver at 3.35% is still available as a consolation prize.

This account no longer available to new customers, or even to open for existing customers.
It is still paying that rate to qualifying members, who opened one whilst still available.
