Is this different to the one you posted on 16th Aug in the no chat thread?

Maybe. You should check it (DYOR) if it's important to you.

Beehive Money Limited Issue Easy Access 5.10%

Min. £1k - Interest Yearly

Source: Money Facts

I've opened this new 5.1% account on the Beehive app but it does not seem possible to transfer the balance from my existing 4.9% Bonus Saver. Maybe I shall have to send the money to my bank account and then redeposit it, unless anyone knows a way around this?

EDIT: Discovered that you request closure of the 4.9% Bonus Saver first. It then gives the option of transferring to the new 5.1% Limited Issue Easy Access.

I contacted Beehive and was told that if I closed the Bonus saver I would only get 2.65% on the balance - I have the minimum balance of £1000 there

I don't think that's correct - I wasn't aware of any minimum account term when I held an earlier issue, and received the expected amount of interest on closure. It would be a strange penalty that would make it more restrictive than a notice account but less than a fixed term account.

I've had to reinstall the app as it was frozen every time I opened it. I can now close it online so I'm going to do it anyway. I wish there wasn't the minimum balance there and in the easy access account as I just want the account as a backup account. I have the Santander 5.2 % where most of my money is going that I don't want tied up

I closed mine and got the full 4.9% interest.

@soulsaver

Only one withdrawal per calendar year? That is a whole new definition of an easy access account.
