    I think it's time to say goodbye to Marcus today.

    Yes I'm going to proceed with a divorce & withdraw my £1.

    My relationship with chip + others is very good indeed.😜

    I've just checked in. I had £0 balance there for a number of years.  After receiving the email I've deposited £1 and withdrew it back to my nominated current account. I prefer to let it run - it costs nothing.

    Santander E-Saver just gone up from 3.2 to 3.69% monthly interest. I'll keep my balance at zero ;)

    Received an SMS from Newcastle BS this morning to rate my recent experience. Gave lowest ratings of not at all likely for would I recommend and very dissatisfied for rating my recent experience. 
    There was then a text field to explain why. Like at least one other on here I was a recent Cash ISA customer which makes it all the more ridiculous being subject to id and residency checks when I am eminently identifiable electronically. The use of snail mail is ridiculous too adding time and even the risk of identity theft.
    I only persevered because unless Skipton do something proactive the Newcastle BR tracker at -0.7% will always beat their -0.9% account.

    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%


    The YBS Loyalty Six Access E-Saver interest rate will be increasing from 4.00% to 4.50% on the 6th July 2023, as per the following document:

    Well done YBS.  It saves me moving.  
    Please call me 'Kazza'.
