    Santander's 5.2% offering looking very good now for the many that have it after today's rate hold decision.
    Until they cut it!
    Why would they cut it, the boe rate didn't move down today?

    It's in the Key Facts document that you would have agreed to have downloaded when you opened the account - it's £250k maximum balance.  You don't get interest paid above that.

    The max balance is £2m. Interest is paid up to £250,000 only. Whether that's on a balance of £250k or the maximum interest payable in the year I don't know but holding £2m for the full term would 'only' generate £104k at 5.2%. It's certainly an ambiguous sentence but as I'm not in that league I just ignored it.

    They may have depended on a rise when they set their rate.

    Like YBS, Leeds BS and a few others Santander have a habit of leaving key facts documents for NLA accounts on their website for a while. The Key Facts document for Santander's 5.2% EA account is currently still on Santander's website. See:

     A bank depending on what might happen. I very much doubt that. 
  • I'd be surprised if they cut it unless there is a cut in rates. Obviously it's NLA so there's a limit to how much they will take in and need to pay at that rate. If they cut it that means they got their sums wrong and anticipated a further rate rise in September when issuing the rate. Wouldn't be a good look for them.
  • So does anyone on here believe the banks don’t get the nod from the boe.
    Next you will be telling me politicians tell the truth and are not in if for the money and power.
