    It must have changed overnight when they were performing maintenance.


    ”3.50% AER/3.44% gross (variable)

    Includes a bonus rate of 0.34% gross fixed for the first 12 months”

    Never thought I'd see the day Marcus beats Zopa. 

    Probably the launch of Zopas ISAs bringing in funds so no need to up EA rates.
    Ex Sg27 (long forgotten log in details)

    Massive thank you to those on the long since defunct Matched Betting board.

    Surely when Marcus launched in Aug/Sept 2018 at 1.50% they were way ahead of Zopa.

    I don't think Smart Saver launched until October 2021... with a rate of 0.60%.

    Okay thanks. I only opened my Zopa in the last few months and thought it had been around for longer.

    My statement was only based on Marcus being way ahead of everyone when it launched. 

    Just checked and Marcus with bonus from 29/9/2021 to 8/3/2022 was also 0.60%.

    At that time Zopa wasn't a bank, they were still a p2p platform.
