Tandem dropping the bonus rate from 0.35 to 0.25 pc from March. So the overall rate will drop from 5 to 4.9

Not March they have done it now for me

Coventry BS have finally launched their own app (mentioned in their members blog) - installed the android version, registered and it seems to work fine.

Very quick to install and set up on Android, one device only permitted.

App not working if you use NordVPN

It appears you also need to enable Location Services to even use the App to "prevent fraud". Since none of the other 22 banking apps I have need to track my exact location in order to work, I'll give this one a miss.

Is this really a negative attribute as far as security is concerned? I gave permission "only while using the app"

I'm glad I opened that Skipton EA base rate tracker now.. 5.06% until base rate is reduced, hopefully not until the summer at the earliest.

Yes, I done the same.🙂

Futuristic

Just moved tandem off to Skipton tracker, stopped opening new accounts and chasing 0.1% differences a while back.

Absolutely it is, if the website can operate without the need to know where a customer is, but the App cannot. 22 other financial organisations don't have the need for this. As I say, I'll pass. It's a personal choice.

I'm going to be doing my next monthly funding of 20-odd RS accounts from somewhere south of Hanoi (at least, that's the plan). Be interesting if my location sets off any alarms.

I've recently done a lot of online banking with a number of banks/ building socs from Thailand. If I had any problems logging in etc then I turned my vpn on and had no further problems.

Mine still showing 5 %. Maybe depends when you opened account and/or applied bonus?
