    Their first increases in nearly 3 months, with timing near the BoE announcement almost as interesting as Marcus. Note the top tiers of their Issue 11/12 Internet Saver Plus will remain 0.1% higher than the available Issue 13 and are still among their accounts that don't have a lower rate for balances above 20K.
    6 days over 2 months TBF! 
    The difference between YBS and Marcus is that the former's rates were already competitive and are now even better, the Loyalty 6 up to 3.75% and the Christmas Regular up to 4.75%, thank you very much. Whereas Marcus rate was woefully adrift and the increase to 3.0% yesterday still pitiful.

    That 3.75% is where Coventry limited access needs to be as they skipped a rise last time - over the year until then they had been following BoE rises

    Looks like the 5% First Home Saver is staying at 5% :-(

    That Coventry limited access news is disappointing - that's just a 0.1% rise after nearly 3 months - since December the issue 6 has gone up by 0.5% while base rates have risen 1.25%, it doesn't seem likely that'll be enough to beat top EA accounts for long.
  • Nationwide Building Society are finally increasing their savings interest rates on the 1st April 2023.

    Last time they increased their savings interest rates was December 2022, if I remember correctly.

    We’ll be increasing the interest rates of our savings accounts on 1 April 2023. If you have an account with us, you can be notified when this happens by signing up for SavingsWatch.

    About time too Nationwide. Now I'm waiting to see what Atom will do to see if I c an obtain the full house - with rises already announced by Marcus and Coventry! if Atom increase in the next few days then I'll stick - if not though my money will wing its way back to Marcus for the time being.
