Shawbrook now 3.36% AER.

Now this needs to nudge other savers like Cynergy and Al Rayan to make a move. 

Just got the text now from Shawbrook

it’s an existing issue so they have upgraded automatically- no need to message them

Re: Secure Trust @ 3.30% - did anyone answer the question (which I can't find) as to whether you can make a test deposit of £1 or does it need to be the full £1k ?

For Secure Trust it needs to be £1k+ at least for the initial deposit. I tried sending £1 as I often do for a new account to make sure it's set up correctly, didn't go through, a couple of days later it boomeranged back - rejected because it was too small.

my Issue 33 has been updated to the new rate (and I received the text too), though bear in mind that if you're getting monthly interest, it will show as 3.31% rather than 3.36%.

Not sure if this, from Charter Savings Bank, has been mentioned?



Too late for new accounts, unfortunately.

It doesn't usually arrive until quite late in the afternoon

Nothing in my account yet but just had this pop-up window appear in the app:

It should be noted that the message appeared today on the 6th April.

As @Band7 mentioned above, interest should be credited later today.

Mine is only showing 0.05% interest. I have monthly, but I have a zero balance at the moment. But I'm sure it had the correct previous interest showing when I had a zero balance. AFAIK it's not like eg Investec when if your balance drops below 5k you get zero interest. Maybe it will sort itself out.

If the balance goes below £1k the rate drops to 0.05%
