Tom's email was for those that are on monthly interest - I got the same email as him.

I think it's NLA now as no longer mentioned on the Gatehouse site or on Moneyfacts.

Gatehouse 5.23% EPR isn't available to new customers atm, their website showing 'Under Review' atm. Competitive notice savings accounts | Gatehouse… | Gatehouse Bank plc

Gatehouse 5.23% EPR can, however, be opened by "existing" customers.

Having noticed they are also topping the Easy Access ISA chart, I just opened this account as a new customer. I was then able to open the Easy Access Account in a matter of seconds.

Edit: Erroneous statement re. Notice accounts removed. See below comments.

Have they changed the notice account rate? 4.60% for 95 days is worse than poor EAs and surely cant be 'table topping'?

Apologies. In my haste, after a long night shift, I misread it as 5.60% 😅. You are correct, it is still 4.60%. Thanks for pointing that out. I believe their Easy Access ISA is currently chart topping though.

Using the same 'hack' you may get 95 day 5.60% at RCI.. 'available to existing customers'. 
I already hold the account so can't test it.

Beehive Money 5.2% NLA

Pretty dumb question but hopefully someone can answer it for me. I currently have a Tandem instant saver paying 5% and have just applied for a Cahoot simple saver which pays 5.12%. Cahoot only pays 5% interest if interest is paid monthly. Does this mean they both pay the same if monthly interest is chosen?

Source...?
Still available to me when logged in - which may mean limited to existing customers?

Not there for new customers. Sadly I left it until today to apply🙁
