I think Chip are going to have to move soon if they don't want to lose a lot of business, from next Saturday the Kroo current account beats them by 0.1% and is much friendlier to use!

Apparently only if you know the date of birth of anyone sending you money, if you believe some forum threads, here and elsewhere.

Personally, never had an issue. But then, any money coming in would be my own and I am pretty sure I know my own date of birth

Working for me.  Could try rebooting your device by switching off and on.

HSBC UK plans to boost savings rates and will give further details next week.

Referring to the bank’s savings offering, an HSBC spokesman told the PA news agency: “Following a review, we will be increasing rates shortly and making other changes, and we will be in a position to share the specifics early next week.

OBS up again...?

That leaves Oxbury. But (from website: "Oxbury is the first UK bank to be net carbon-neutral from inception.  We aim to combat climate change by providing products designed to support the agricultural sector with the transition to the low-carbon economy and the NFU’s ambition of reaching net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the whole of agriculture by 2040." I'm not going to give a penny to a company who is into all that net zero claptrap.

So that leaves Raisen, 4.15% but you loose 2 days interest when you transfer money in and 2 days again when you transfer out. I think the best to go for now is Kroo even though they are not at 4.1 % until 1 July

Oh dear, wait till you read about all the 'green crap' that Kroo is into.....

Leaving this here with an estimate of just under 6% of electricity used in UK by 2030 is used to run data centres.

So, planting trees or e.g. making efforts to redistribute heat generated and doing something good should be in the interest of everyone!

Not banking with an institution because they do this is imho just plain stupid and dumb. In that case, please just throw all digital devices away, disconnect from the internet.

So thinking of moving from shawbrook to raisin for the 4.12%.

are we likely to see from increases on Monday or should I just get this moved?

If I were you I'd get it moved. If we see some increases next week you can always move the money again, if not you're getting a higher rate of interest on your savings in the mean time.

Is there a way to transfer a balance from a Coventry limited access online saver to the four access saver without having to send it back to my trusted current account at a different bank? I've got both open now and trying to move the funds
