    I’m with tandem so very pleased with their increas, as expected chip jump ahead I won’t be switching to them but it’s all positive anyone who pushes rates can only be good for us all

    Good for all of us - except for those who have, or want to have, big loans

    It’s an unfortunate reality that the rise and fall of interest rates benefit some but screw others. As someone without loans trying to get the best returns to live off, I sympathise with those who have/need loans - as we were there once.

    Moneyfacts Reports:

    Saffron E-Saver Account (Issue 20) from 2.95% -> 3.45%
    Saffron Enviro Saver Account (Issue 2) from 2.90% -> 3.40%
    MySaver never seems to show on there, but I reckon it’ll also be 3.45% - EDIT: It has a max balance of £10,000, so is in fact on there, just not under the default £25,000 option

    Rates not reflected on saffron website or app, but it’ll likely be tomorrow ~09:30. Not TOTP, but to let existing account holders know.

    Looks like we're heading for a minimum of two more BoE rate rises now after the latest disastrous inflation numbers this morning - even with energy prices easing inflation is still running out of control.

    This government really has destroyed the country's economy, so it's more important than ever to limit the damage by chasing the best rates wherever possible.

    Yes, BoE forecasts were miles out yet again. Hopefully most haven't fixed their savings too long at recent rate offers, because they'll be going up again.

    It won't be popular and the government won't want to do it a year out from an election, but now that it's clear that core inflation is the issue the only way to get it under control is through further and sharper interest rate rises. This, combined with more and more mortgage holders coming out of low rate fixes, will eventually lead to a reset.

    Skipton has pulled all its tracker savings products (saver as well as ISA). I don't think there is now any BOE rate linked tracker out there either as ISA or normal saver. Above trackers weren't best buy rates but they did have spreads on BOE guaranteed for 24 months.

    Hanley EBS Branch Saver

    Also Dudley BS Instant Tracker (albeit it is a pretty poor tracker IMO)
