    I wonder if we'll see anything from CHIP - seeing as HEBS is now above them in the tables

    Are you comparing apples and pears?

    Yes. I'm just thinking really, although the products are different, CHIP might have hurt feelings as they are no longer at the top of the MoneyFacts comparison table 😂

    I think they might react if they saw a significant outflow of cash. I can't see this from happening as a result of the HEBS account

    Is withdrawal by post and by cheque really 'easy access'?

    I don't see as such.
    It should be retitled as 'difficult access' :)

    I doubt it.  Small old fashioned BSs offering restricted/complicated deals are not Chip's competitors.  If Zopa or Tandem alike will raise to 3.75% for their IA products, Chip is likely to best that.
  • I haven't yet made my mind up wether to open a HEBS account although I'm leaning towards the idea that I can't really be bothered given the restrictions. If I put £10K in HEBS at 4.5% the extra interest ain't much to compensate me for the aggro. I suspect some of the competition might rise a bit by July reducing any advantage further.
    There are leading rates and leading rates .......but they aren't for everyone.

    Sounds like an offer from Back to the Future. No thank you. Anything without an app is basically a no go for me and I have two accounts with online banking only and they have 1 quid in and will be the first to go at some point. No app = no business.

    If Kent Reliance is increasing their rates by 0.25% from Friday then their EA Issue 57 will move to 3.7%.
    Is that wishful thinking on my part or have others drawn the same conclusion?

    The announcement said the increase is for existing NLA accounts only - issue 57 is currently available. They may increase the rate, in addition to their announcement, but it doesn’t fall under it itself imo
