    According to MoneyFacts:

    • Secure Trust Bank Access Account Issue 7 at 3.65% (min £1,000)
    • RCI Bank UK Freedom Savings Account at 3.60% (min £100)
    • Leeds BS Limited Issue Online Access Account Issue 45 at 3.55% (min £1,000)

    @soulsaver - I think these qualify for TOTP
    Secure Trust shows new rate when you log in (3.59% gross monthly interest).

    RCI still shows my Freedom Savings account as 3.40% when I log in, even though the homepage is offering the account at 3.60%. Says the new rate applies from 19th May, so assume it's just not updated yet - also no email to mention the rate increase - but again these things can take time emailing hundreds of thousands of customers. Let's hope it updates by tomorrow.

    Just in the process of applying for this.  Sounds like they want original ID or certified copies.  Has anyone been through the process of applying for this account via the post ?

    I sent off the application form earlier this week, though I never included ID and I haven't heard anything from them yet. I'll update you in this thread if I hear from then.

    Yes, they received my application yesterday by post and they confirmed by phone that I can have the account. I did not include ID as I have an existing account with them. The application form suggests they can electronically verify anyway - confirmed by soft searches from them showing on Equifax.

    I posted the cheque and forms 3 days ago, no ID, 2nd class. Received yesterday, along with several other applications apparently. They estimate a 3-5 day turnaround time, cheques apparently won't be backdated.
    If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

    I'm glad marcus are back in the game. I've always liked their app and website, plus transfers in and out are rapid.
