    Yep.....3.34% to 3.46%
    Zopa 31 day boosted pot is up to 3.6% 
    We were discussing the instant (easy) access rate increase of 0.12%. 3.6% for 31 days' notice isn't really anything to shout about either, Chip offer 3.71% for instant (easy) access. I like Zopa and the app works very well, but their rates have fallen well behind the market leaders.
    Shame they haven't increased them more. I was not wanting to leave but my Skipton instant access will be paying 3.55% from next week so unfortunately that's me gone.
    My Skipton EA up to 3.15% (from 2.91) this morning. Where does 3.55% come from? 
    I don't know for sure, but my Tracker has gone to 3.60% AER (Annual), so could it be the same account, but monthly interest 🤔

    The 3.55% relates to the month rate of the Tracker Account, not the Easy Access

    It’s so frustrating to see new accounts with great rates that, in my view, just shouldn’t count here. Minimum amount per withdrawal, or fixed number of times to withdraw, or access by branch and post… so many restrictions. The most I am willing to accept is my new Harpenden 3.69% account which has no limits, but takes forever to show money you’ve deposited. Where are all the challenger banks at the moment? Do none of them need our money?
    They're probably overwhelmed. I was thinking of sending a deposit. How long are they taking?

    The real test will be withdrawals.

    Is that two withdrawals plus closure or two including closure?

    I guess I'm asking if you've made two withdrawals will they block an attempt to close the account until its next year, the terms don't specify what would happen in this scenario.

    As closing the account counts as taking money out, you can only close the account if you have not already taken money out twice in the current calendar year. If you have, you cannot close the account until the next calendar year.

    it's not a new account - they've just raised the rate on the existing issue from 3.30% (if I recall) to 3.66%

    I think you're right (re it not being a new issue, but I agree with @bridlington1 - I believe the rate increased to 3.45% before too):
