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.

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%

Looks like Charter have launched Issue 35 EA paying 3.3%. As per the announcement on their home page, hopefully my Issue 28 will increase from 3.25% to 3.5%
