This NBS issue 1 (now closed) really was a no brainer to have.
It will have to go up every time the BoE raises rates and by the full amount.
It`s easy access, unlimited deposits/withdrawals.
On sale Wed. closed today.
Rates are going nowhere for a very long time.

Some can remember the days of 15/17% mortgage rates, never mind 6%.

Me for one. My daughter and hubby were complaining last year about how much their mortgage had gone up and the rate. Am sure they didn't believe me when I told them ours was well into double figures years ago.

Yep, me too - 14% mortgage when we got married.  My son didn't believe me either when he took out a fix last year at less than 2%.

Anyone finding that transfers are taking a long time to reach the account?

Is 2pm the cut-off time for deposits into the Newcastle BS account to show up the same working day ?

Mortgage rate was 16 per cent when we bought our house in 1981.

In general or for a specific provider?

Sorry into the Newcastle BS account.

Don`t know for certain but do NBS use Barclays for their faster payments?
This could explain the delays and variations in money transfer times also Friday is probably busier with the weekend coming up.
