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

https://www.paragonbank.co.uk/savings/double-access-account

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

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.

ColdIron

Presumably that wasn't the 7.00% one?

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

Kent Reliance EA Issue 65 now 5.01%

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?

I have on my Spreadsheet that Santander always seems to show the interest payment the next day but it be dated the previous day - so will be dated 15th but won't appear or be added till 16th. This is how it has seemed to have been with all the Easy Access Savers I've had anyway.

 I'm also waiting on the 7% edge saver without the cashback stuff on the current account.

Just opened this account, eventually. Applied using my NW current account as nominated account (had for over 30 years) but they could not verify it. Tried again with my Santander account (had just a few months) and all went through OK. Info by email (user ID, account details etc by email very quickly. Have deposited a bit (min £1000) and will use it as a back up.
