    YBS Rainy Day Svr 5.00% to £10K then 3.90% on balance over (14/09)Product Details | Savings Product Finder | YBS  

    Nationwide FlexDirect 5% on £1.5k (1st year only) FlexDirect | In-credit interest current account | Nationwide


    Given the relegation of the 5%-ers last week, the above smaller balance pots are no longer top rates. End of an era for Nationwide's FlexDirect.

    I no longer check the forums as regularly as I used to. If you wish to catch my attention please remember to tag me (@ircE) so I get a notification.

    ... and coincidentally my 1 year (5%) Flex Direct anniversary (down to 1% in a couple of weeks), good while it lasted.

    So about 3-5 months after downgrading my Edge current account, Santander have finally decided to downgrade my Edge saver. (with 2 months notice). Turns out they will actually bother to do it... eventually. 
    why did you downgrade?
    To not pay the £3 fee.

    It might have been worth opening another, but not adding any direct debits to it this time. That would avoid commencement of the fee being charged.

    Do they allow people to have a (NLA) 123 lite with DD and an EDGE without DD?

    I kinda don't want to lose the 123 lite cashback

    In my case it was Santander who advised me to downgrade because the bank charges were more than my cashback savings so I switched to the basic current account . I ve still been on the 7% Edge Saver but they informed me this week I will be downgraded at the end of November .That is when I will move the £4k  it to their 5.2 % saver
