The loss of one day at 4% is 0.04/365 * balancerefluxer said:
Can you explain your maths on that one ?jak22 said:Note that Shawbrook debit the account right away and transfer the next working day - this might imply losing a day's interest. If so it would take 2 weeks or so in an account paying 0.25% more interest before breaking even - something to bear in mind before moving out and straight back in.
A 0.25% gain earns 0.0025/365 * balance * days
for break-even 0.04/365 * balance = 0.0025/365 * balance * days
days = 0.04 / 0.00251 -
They call it a bonus, because it includes a bonus for the first 12 months - after which the bonus drops off.em_h said:
I like that they call it a bonus, when what they really mean is they decrease it by 0.62% after 12 months!ForumUser7 said:£1 min balance. Rate includes bonus for 12 months.
I'd be tempted for 4.22% without a "bonus" as then worth grabbing just in case it rises. But this one is *guaranteed* to fall next year. 😕 So likelihood they'll increase it in meantime by >boe base rate is slim to none.If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

Sorry for another NBS post. Put £1 in via debit card when opened account a week or so ago and still not showing on the NBS log in. Do we think something has gone wrong or do I just need patience? I know the card payments sometimes take a bit longer0

I agree, just pulled £78000 out and put it back in Chip, then they up the rate!patpalloon said:I think there is definitely a rule - that whenever you withdraw money, they increase the rate!!
Maybe now I'll stick it back in!
but I prefer Chip for their app, and it tells you what interest you are generating each day which is good.... 1 -
