My Santander esaver now showing 3.75% up from 3.25%. Assume this updated overnight unless I missed it previously.

I appreciate this won't be of much use to most people and apologies if it's already been mentioned on here before but for those who have a Leeds BS shared ownership mortgage it appears Leeds BS have launched a Shared Ownership Saver at 6% (£20k max, unlimited penalty free withdrawals).

I logged into YBS online banking and I can't see any interest rate change applied to their Loyalty Six Access E-Saver account (NLA).  It is still displaying a rate of 4.00%

If it stays that way, I'll be emptying it for Newcastle's Tracker.

I rang YBS yesterday to see if I could find out when and what rate increase will be for this account.  The person I spoke to said the rates would increase by up to 0.50% and that it would happen on the 7th July.  However, it looks like (from some posts above) that some rates have already changed.

When looking at my YBS online banking it seems to be that it's only savings accounts that are currently available to new customers that have updated. The ones that are NLA are yet to change so I imagine the NLA accounts will change on 7/7/23, the rest have been updated sooner.

I shall sit on my hands until 7 July then, but likelihood I will move my funds anyway, if not at least 0.40% rise, as would prefer unrestricted access and monthly interest over my current restricted access, annual interest, arrangement with this YBS account.
