The Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area

So I’ve been against opening any more accounts but Tandem’s move today has made me change my mind. I think the 5% Easy Access threshold is a psychological no brainer, at least for me, and a very clever move on Tandem’s part. Wasn’t very long ago that people on here could hardly dare dream about 4% being broken……I guess in Atom’s case there is still work to be done there! Sure there are a few other Banks reworking their strategy now so going to be interesting. Would love to know how many millions have already gone into Tandem accounts today!

Tandem now beating many notice accounts and not that far behind the fixes.

Tandem's easy access 5.00% AER is 4.89% gross monthly.

Does anyone know when Tandem pay interest? Is it on monthly anniversary or a fixed date.

Just looked this up myself. It’s monthly on a fixed date…..just not sure what the date is but guessing it’s monthly anniversary of account opening. 

Monthly anniversary of first funding not opening. If you open today 7th but only put funds in tomorrow 8th interest will be paid on the 8th each month moving forward. So for those opening today, worth to put £1 in today and move funds tomorrow when rate is up.

Interest is calculated daily and compounded into your Instant Access Saver on a monthly basis. The interest will be applied to your account each month on the same date you first funded it. You’ll receive an SMS when your interest has been added and your statement is ready to view in the app.

Rate already 5% for accounts opened today. Can personally confirm from my own account opened a couple of hours ago.

Is anyone actually seeing 5% in the app for Tandem? I already had the account and it's still showing 4.36%.
