cahoot cahoot Simple Saver (Issue 2)

5% / 5.12%

Monthly / Yearly interest

Source: Money Facts

Any idea if this rate has also been applied to the simple saver launched a couple of months back at 4.9%?

I'm still waiting for the first one to be opened!  I tried applying in August but, for some reason, they couldn't complete online ID check (they do it via Experian, I checked all the info held and it matched).  Had to apply via 'phone, still had to complete ID by post - not heard anything since, not that I'm bothered as other accounts beat it shortly afterwards.

Cahoot - have not received any notification on changes to their Simple Saver Issue 1 4.9% so assume it is unaffected and notice Issue 2 been released at 5.12% AER.  Also cannot find the SS Issue 1 on NLA on their website, maybe I've just missed it somehow.

If I decide to upgrade to Issue 2 is the process the same as their parent Santander?

Thanks

It hasn't. Looks like you need to apply... from scratch.

Yes, just checked mine. Still at old rate but simple to apply for new account and then transfer over. The 12 months starts again as far as I'm aware

Is there an existing customer application for Cahoot. or do you have to go through the full 'from scratch' application process?

I had to do it from scratch, couldn't find any other way. The new account did show instantly in online banking.

similar to @friolento, you have to apply from scratch - on completion, it says they'll contact you within 5 days, but as an existing customer, the account was setup instantly... I threw £1 in the old account and then transferred the previous balance from old to new... i'll probably keep both for now.

Thanks B1. Existing customer email sent as I only had token amount in Issue 13 at 4.55%. That takes their EA higher than 18 Month Bond Issue 24 issued in May at 5.02%.

Think I’ll give this a miss. It was one of the worst accounts to get set up the first time round and anyway they share FSCS protection with Santander and I grabbed their 5.2% account when it was available.
