Email from Santander - We're increasing the interest rate on your Easy Access Saver Limited Edition (Issue 1) to 4.05% AER/ 3.98% gross (variable).
in next five days

Theyve gradually increased the over 5k rate on the Natwest Digital Saver a few times, creeping up from 1% to 1.7%. 

They might as well not bother increasing at all because most of their rates are beyond poor and not going to keep customers.

That’s strange, I’ve only just received that email, never looked in the account as I’d cleared it when it became uncompetitive 🤷‍♀️

Apologies another Santander Edge Saver question. Has anyone who already has a Santander 123 Lite been able to open an Edge Saver Current account to get the Saver without having to give up the 123 Lite current account?  I find the cash back is better for me with the 123 Lite account but would like the Edge Saver. 

Yes you can

But it isn't instant.. and means a hard search...

Depends what you mean by "instant". The application form doesn't take too long to fill in (5 to 10 mins), and at the end the system took about 30 - 60 seconds to make the final decision, with the account appearing instantly in my online banking afterwards. (I've opened three Edge current accounts in the last few days - an individual each for myself and wife and one joint).
