    I note that quite a few accounts have increased by 0.3% recently. Are they baking in a 0.25 or 0.5% increase next week? Or are they hedging their bets and going in between? If the BoE go for 0.5% do we expect further increases of 0.2%?

    Should be an interesting week and fully expecting some of the Easy Access accounts to hit 4%

    They'll be doing what they think they need to jockey for position in the rate tables. They are competing with one another, not the BoE. Only those few products with an explicit objective to track the base rate will move lockstep with it.

    I don't think anyone here could answer your question as it is all speculation but one thing you can bank on is that your savings account providers will not pass on the total increase and it won't be immediate (unlike the creditors!).
    If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.

    Secured/Unsecured loans x 1 
    Credit Cards x 8 (total limit £55,050)
    Creation FS Retail Account x 1
    Creation Credit Sale 0% x 1 = £112.50pm x 20 mths
    0% Overdraft x 1 (£0 / £250)
    Mortgage Outstanding - £137,707.00 (Payment 13/360)
    Total Debt = £7,400 (0%APR) @ £100pm - Stoozing

    It has been showing in my android app since the day of the rise.

    Are you on iPhone, and/or on the latest version?

    Is yours showing as 3.83% gross by any chance? If so this is equivalent to 3.9% AER.
