    I can't seem to see this mentioned anywhere but Buckinghamshire single access saver now pays 3.8%. Post/branch opening but can be managed online once opened.

    Dear Chip any chance of a little interest rates boost.😁

    Go on you know you want to.😛
    I emailed Chip today asking if they would be raising their rates soon, Mohammed answered and told me they cannot discuss it and if they do I would receive an email, thinking they might not be doing it so might move my funds out...

    Chip are probably testing peoples loyalty now they are actually profitable. They know some will move to Gatehouse but want to watch exactly how many. Any they do lose will be immediately be back if they do put the rate up.

    Coventry BS are launching tomorrow a Four Access Saver (ONLINE) at 4% annual or 3.93% monthly. It can only be opened and operated online. 

    As a nerd I already found the product which you can open once logged in:
    https://secure.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/savings-and-investments/productfeatures.aspx?prodCode=FASO&CTALinks=False
    Though the application form isn't live yet so it looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow before applying.

    If anyone wants a defacto 8 access account it may be worth noting that you can open both the annual and monthly interest versions of the account since their systems treat them as two separate products. I've done this with 2 different issues of their 6-access accounts before without issues.

    You need to login as normal to the banking online then click the link and the apply button will work 

    I will apply with £1 but not sure if I will bother funding yet, will probably see some of the accounts start to increase next week ahead of the BoE decision.

    Many thanks for the insight into Coventry's technical systems. I think I'll give it till tomorrow before opening it though since I won't have any spare cash to put in it until tomorrow and 4% is still a bit too low for me to put anything more than £1 in.
