Even after today`s increases by Nwide along with Marcus, they are still the back markers by at least .25%.
NW flex saver hasn`t moved and is still stuck at 2.25%.

Has Marcus increased rates?

They are lagging well behind. They increased rates from 2.8 to just 3% a day before the recent interest rate rise. I still have Marcus but my balance is zero.

And right on cue, today Marcus once again increased their rates the day before the MPC increases the base rate. Not subtle, are they?

nothing to trouble the top of the tables, but Saffron BS "My Saver" has increased to 3.70% as of today.

Nationwide increasing a limited access account to 3.3% is appalling really

Does family update the rate automatically, or do you need to open a new account each time?

they update automatically - I assume because they're just updating the existing Issue, rather than creating new Issues for each interest rate change.

And Atom still paying 3.15 and getting away with it.

My impression of Atom has gone way down because of this. Really poor. Moved my money out a while ago, bar a fixed that matures in August. Unless they get something really market leading/impressive, they are bottom of my list now. 

Their fixes are worth a look at the though and pay monthly interest. 4.8% for a 6 month fix.

Hello All
What account would you suggest open at Shawbrook that has minimum balance requirements?
I currently have Easy Access Account Issue 34 where minimum balance is £1000 at 3.91%
Tandem & Principal BS are offering more than that.

Suggestions?

I don't understand the question. 

Shawbrook only have one easy access (non ISA) product.
