Would someone please do a check for me:
Santander Edge Saver
Interest credited 17/9 £14.01
Balance 16/8 £400
Balance 17/8 £1000
Balance 1/9 £4000
I think I've been shortchanged - more than a few pence.
TIA

Based on 16 August - 15 September, my calculations work out at £14.01

@schiff - a quick, back of an envelope, sum gives me £14.46.

Apologies, I also get it to £14.01 - I was mis-remembering the 7% as gross, when worked out at 6.78% gross, it does indeed come to £14.01.

£13.99 (think I truncated rather than rounded)

I'm not normally in the habit of checking interest payments to the penny but for some reason I checked this!
Back to the normal routine then 
Thanks all.

Gatehouse, Easy Access increases to 4.89% (think this works out as 5% AER).

What's the minimum balance on Gatehouse? Their KPI download mentions £1000 but the html web intro says £1

£1 - just checked my account, which has had £1 in it for the past few months, and the new rate is showing.

How rude of Cynergy! Returned from holiday last night with one of my tasks this morning to close and transfer Issue 65 to Issue 66 at 5.0% (yes, I'm sad enough to keep an eye on these things while away) only to find it's now Issue 67 at 4.95%. Hope this isn't indicative of a general reverse in the direction of travel. See what Thursday brings.

I'm still confused why people stick around with Cynergy? Don't you have to open and close issues manually? 

Tandem is at 5% right now and very easy to use for example.
