    Paragon Double Access Issue 3 now 5.25% (£1k min).
    Thanks! I’ve applied to open this and transfer savings from Issue 2. I’ve left 1k in issue 2 as that was the minimum opening deposit and I opted for annual interest. I DO NOT want the interest to pay until the next tax year. I assume that I need to maintain the 1k minimum on Issue 2 to avoid the account being closed and the interest paying out? 

    The money disappeared from my Issue 2 account more or less immediately but I can’t see the new account yet.

    Cahoot closure rigmarole:
    As I have the Santander 5.2% then the Cahoot 4.9% became redundant so I decided to close it.

     
    I have the same accounts except I have not funded, or even bothered to log in to the Cahoot account. Hopefully they will close the account by their own means whenever and however long that might take.



  • Marcus has increased their bonus rate to 0.49% from 0.34%, so you can go and renew the bonus.
    I have too many redundant savings accounts, so Marcus was the first for the chop.

    Wasn’t visible to me in the app.
    Mind you not going to make much difference to the £3.22 I’ve lazily left in the account.

    Yes it is, login, 
    Scroll down to interest rate and tap it,
    Then tap 3 dots and bonus rate.
    Accept and your done.

    You have to 'View Bonus Options' to see if there's a new bonus rate available.
