@lcooper Have you found DF Capital ok to deal with?

Before the EA, I only had a Fixed Term account with them which is several months from maturity, and they are not my only savings bank. Thus I have had limited exposure to them. Quite happy with what I have seen so far - only thing I miss is a DF Capital app.

Thanks. I'm new to going off the beaten track so all feedback appreciated! 🙂

Cynergy EA account holders:
has anyone received an email today regarding a secure message?
Am away until the end of the month, no ability to access, rather hopeful it's a generic message!
Clearly not about increased rate!
Thanks.

To clarify on when interest is applied on the DF Capital Easy Access.
I just called them and they confirm it is from the end of day balance and not 2nd working day. They checked my deposit that I made yesterday and it is showing interest has been accrued

Nice one! Better than Coventry 4 Access Saver, IMO. Albeit a tad slow with withdrawals, and min deposit and withdrawal amount, as well as min operating balance, is £1,000. 

Your funds will be received the next working day if the withdrawal request is received before 4:30pm. If your withdrawal request is received after 4:30pm or on a non working day, your request will be processed the next working day and your funds may not be received until the second working day.

I already have a Fixed Term account with them, so opening the EA account took just seconds. They are not part of CoP, so I just sent a small test payment, which was received nearly instantly - and which resulted in a bit of a telling off .....

I have two bonds with DF and have used their customer services, can’t fault them

Have a fixed rate bond with DF and have just opened the new access saver and have found their customer services and online offering very good. Would recommend.

Can you have interest paid away into an external account each month with DF?

I'm not sure I have any easy access accounts with that option - I would imagine that type of arrangement is primarily for other types of accounts (eg. fixed rate) ?

There's a fair few providers that allow you to have the interest from their EA accounts paid into an external account, e.g. Aldermore, Beverley BS, Cambridge BS, Coventry BS, YBS etc. I've found this is quite useful for accounts that only let you make a limited number of withdrawals as it allows you to move the interest out should the rate become uncompetitive without losing a withdrawal.
