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.1

General question inspired by this:Grownglow said:Does anyone know what time chip calculate the interest for that day?
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?0 -
