According to the Coventry Building Society website this morning (8 am), the Bank of England has increased interest rates today 🤷🏻‍♂️

I hope this is a sign they've got some nice savings rates increases in the pipeline.

No suprise that an increase is coming after the US increased by 0.25% and ECB increased by 0.5% recently. Thought the bank failures would've slowed down but guess not!

Saw some article yesterday which said the banks had made an extra £7 billion by not passing on saving increases, while making more money on their loans/mortgages.

General question inspired by this:

If you had savings accounts with two different institutions, that you can transfer between instantly, and they had, say a 1-hour difference between the times that money has to be in the account in order to earn interest for that day, how many days in a row do you think you could rotate money between the accounts before one or both institutions noticed and got upset about it?
