    Charter new issue Easy Access now 4.10% Gross (4.02%) which is Issue 41. Issues up to Issue 29 also following suit from tomorrow. Looks like anyone with Issue 30 thru 40 gets less which is an odd move. 
    So much for Charter's email then! EA Issue 28 4.00%/4.09% on 21/07 ... why did they send those figures?
    Same email for my issue 28 although it's showing as to be 4.1 AER online from tomorrow. Looks like the email is not only conflicting but also mathematically wrong for the gross to AER.

    Charter previously have been holding the latest issues lower than the old ones, presumably to encourage loyalty.

    It's not encouraging my loyalty, as it's 10 issues with inferior rates, moving a fair wedge out having waited for this move to decide.

    That's the one, but it's not on the app. Annoying as it's quicker that way.

    Virgin M Plus saver has made a laughably slow and poor increase from 3.03% to 3.55% (under £25,000, still 2.52% for balances above that).
    Mine's showing 3.5% AER rather than 3.55%?
    3.5% is the gross rate. In their own words from the email:

    ’You will now receive 3.55% AER (3.50% Gross)

    If big banks can fail and need help such as the recent ones why is there a frenzy (on here)  to pile money into the obscurely named mobile app only banks.

    Reminds me a lot when "asleep at the wheel" Ofgem, OK`ed all the minnow energy firms which went bust and now we are all paying for.

    Icelandic banks that everyone piled into.
    One day your money was there, next day it had disappeared.
    UK government decided to refund all retail savers, hoping to get it back from Iceland.

    Could not agree more. Although challenger bank depositors have the same protection as the big names, I think they are more likely to need it.
    Who wants to have to rely on the FSCS protection process, for an extra 0.1- 0.2% 

    Remind me again which UK banks were essentially insolvent and required bailing out in 2009.
    I'm not certain why this was never answered but I suspect that the five thanks has got something to do with it! Wasn't RBS one?
