Shawbrook raise their EA account 

now on website:

Gross

3.26% Annually

3.21% Monthly

Mine is still showing as 3.02%

If you're on issue 33 (the latest issue) then the rate should update automatically but if you're on a previous issue then you might have to switch to issue 33 to get the higher rate if they don't apply the increase to previous issues.

Looking at the website now,  34 is the latest issue for Shawbrook. I'm on 33 too so will ask for the upgrade.

I saw many posts about Santander's attractive rate on here a few days ago. 

Please note some forumites have experienced issues (in the form of random locks/blocks) moving money out of a Santander account to other bank/Fintech accounts:

Taking many a phone calls and days to unlock/unblock.

Just something to bear in mind.

I've experienced these problems with First Direct, Lloyds, TSB and Al Rayan.  I have to say that conversations with Al Rayan were different, very short, no silly questions, they were just making sure that my £1 test sent previously arrived to a designated bank account and confirming that it was me who made a payment.
I've been with Santander since 2010 and never experienced any problems, not yet  
Anyway, I think it's a better practice to keep IA cash in more than one bank.

@soulsaver

Is there any restriction on opening Issue 8 if you already have Issue 6?

Many thanks.

I actually thought they were the same rate as my Issue 6 is 3.30% but that is because I chose monthly interest.

Is issue 6 not going up too?

Issues 6 & 7 move to 3.35% AER next Tuesday, so Issue 8 is ahead of them today, but will fall behind the previous issues when their rate is increased next week.
