Surprising increase from Saffron on esaver imo, Up 0.50%, just 6 days after they'd put an increase to 4.1% through.
All closed issues NLA also up to 4.6%

With Shawbrook Bank is there a cut-off for a transfer in/out to be made the same day ? - I assume working days only.

This is a recurring question. It's all detailed online, in the product t's&c's.

Does nobody read these?

Yes, but nothing beats personal experience.  In the past I've had the T&C's say one thing but in practice something else applies.  I know the T&C's mention next day but would like to know if this is in fact the case.

Thanks

showing for me - but remember that if you get interest paid monthly, it will show 4.53% rather than 4.63%

Yes I do get interest monthly but it was showing 4.43%.  I just checked again after receiving rate rise text from Shawbrook and it has now changed to 4.53%.

Yes, I saw @Bridlington1 post, so checked my Issue 19, and was surprised to see it had increased to 4.60%

Had not seen any advance notice of this, not that I'm complaining.

That said, I only have a two-figure balance in this account, £10 being the minimum allowed for it to remain open, and don't feel inclined to add significant funds to it, now at 4.60%, as I believe my other accounts, with major funds, are likely to exceed this rate within the next week.

Good increase from Shawbrook - further ahead of Tandem and others who arent keeping up and even Coventry limited access. 

As some prefer to ask here rather than check T&Cs Shawbrook debit the account immediately but transfer the next working day (so avoid Fridays) and funds arrive PM. Credits arrive same day with notification.

This might imply 1+ day's lost interest on withdrawals so if shuffling funds it would take around two weeks per lost day in an account paying 0.25% more before breaking even - although while Shawbrook stay on top it's not an issue.

That's why SB is not an option for me as I find it unacceptable how slow they are and that on top you miss out on 1 day interest. Coventry is also slow but at least they are fair and pay you so you're not missing out.
