The Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area

masonic

If everyone feels the need to express an opinion about the relevance of the posts above their own off-topic contribution, then there will be very little discussion about the top easy access savings accounts per page of discussion.

In a thinly-veiled attempt to bring back on topic, I note that Moneyfacts is looking a little silly proclaiming the top easy access rate is 4.81% at the moment:

Have they never included Tandem in their rate table? It hasn't gone NLA as far as I can see.

What's the Tandem rate when you open an account (before doing any actions to add a bonus rate?) Edit: 4.65%, so should still be in the table, just a bit lower, but isn't.

I don't think it can be that, as it's not listed at the rate sans-bonus either.

Hasn't the Tandem account been suspended for the weekend - someone posted up-thread.  Would that remove it temporarily?

While I'm not particularly interested in the AER off topic either, the fact is compared to the number of people in this thread, if you start a new thread basically no one will actually read it so you kinda have to do it here where the eyes are.

From the Summary pdf

W H A T I S T H E I N T E R E S T R A T E ?
Your underlying interest rate is 4.65% AER* / 4.55% Gross** (variable)
If a Top Up is applied to your account:
Your Top Up is 0.35% AER*(variable)
Your total interest rate is 5.00% AER* / 4.89% Gross** (variable)
Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly into the account.

afaicr it has always sat below the other 4.65%-ers. I can't remember ever seeing any mention of the bonus, though it may have been hidden in the notes. Which seems a bit eccentric and not especially helpful if you don't know.

Tandem might have ten thousand new accounts opened in 24 hours or 100 thousand.
Who knows, or they have enough new funding.

Been lot of excitement having a rate rise every day and natter about what Chip is/isn't or might/might-not do today that's brought back forumites not seen for years.  

Could be we're back to the usual boring stuff for a while.  For normal people out there, money is always boring.

I guess this must be the reason. I'm sure they've listed it before (and inclusive of the bonus rate).
