    Has anyone who opened a Santander Edge account on15th August, for monthly interest, received interest yet?
    Re my earlier post, just a bit concerned because, though I converted an existing current account I had to the Edge current account, I didn't pay in the £500+/month and don't have the 2+ direct debits on it.  I know there was quite a lot of discussion back on the 15th August about Santander's qualifying for interest terms.
    I too await confirmation of this one way or another. I opened mine 17/08

    Thanks ColdIron, could you post here whether or not you do get your interest, please?

    Paragon Double Access Issue 2 will pay 5.05% from tomorrow (£1k min).
    Will I be able to open issue 2 and move funds from issue 1? 
    Doubles Access no longer available
    Issue 2 hasn't been launched yet, it should appear later today though.
    Excellent, I take it back. Many Thanks
    I probably won't go for it though, it's hard to see past Santander at 5.20% and easy access
    I shall close my  Paragon issue 1, I held out hope that it might increase

    5.05% £1k min Double Access Savings Account | Paragon Bank

    Presumably that wasn't the 7.00% one?

    I opened my Edge Saver back in April, and always get the interest either later in the day of, or the day after the monthiversary. My Edge a/c has to make do with a solitary tenner balance and no DDs or monthly income.

    Thanks for this PloughmansLunch  :)

    No, it was ~4% or whatever groundbreaking rate it was at the time, but upgraded automatically last month so I topped it back up again

    Thanks for the heads-up ... do KR increase earlier EA issue rates to match this, or do you have to apply for the new & ditch the old?
