Chorley Easy Access Saver (1 Withdrawal) NLA

Goes down from 5.3% to 5.1% from19th February 2024.

Note that it seems those with the NORTH WEST & LOYALTY EASY ACCESS SAVER account that you will be affected too as I received the same email.

Chorley have renamed the NORTH WEST & LOYALTY EASY ACCESS SAVER account to Chorley Easy Access Saver (1 Withdrawal) (effective this month - bottom of page here https://www.chorleybs.co.uk/savings/interest-rates-for-withdrawn-accounts/)
And seem to be saying that the conditions for both the original and changed name accounts are the same even though notification about change of conditions only went out about the Chorley Easy Access Saver (1 Withdrawal) in October, not mentioning the NW & Loyalty account and Chorley were referring to the accounts differently in October and the accounts started with different minimum balances required.

Email from Chorley BS 19 October 2023 - 
Important information regarding your Easy Access Saver (1 withdrawal)

We're writing to let you know of some changes to your Easy Access Saver (1 withdrawal account).

From the 18th December 2023, if you choose to make more than one withdrawal, the account will be transferred to our Chorleian account and will no longer revert to your Easy Access Savers (1 withdrawal) account in the following January.  Please note that the Chorleian account is an easy access account with no withdrawal restrictions.

Email from Chorley 20 October 2023 -

No mention of Issue 55 on the Leeds BS website. Still issue 54

10am this morning Tandem sends me a 30 day notification of top up rate decrease by 0.10 % as of 6th March.... 10 past midnight on 6th Feb Tandem thanks me for topping up my rate to the lower one that's supposed to start in March. Signing into app confirms rate has dropped. 

Bye bye Tandem. 

Just in case anyone cares......


On 5th February, we sent you an email letting you know we will be decreasing the Top Up rate from 0.35% to 0.25% AER* (variable) on 6th March. 

To avoid any confusion, if your Top Up rate expires between 8th February and 5th March, we have extended your Top Up expiry date to 6th March, to ensure you benefit from the 0.35% AER* (variable) before it decreases.

If you have already renewed your Top Up at the lower rate of 0.25% AER* (variable), we will adjust your Top Up to 0.35% AER* (variable) until 6th March. On 6th March your Top Up will then reduce to 0.25% AER* (variable), as previously advised.

Thanks for that.

Wasn't that long ago traders were betting on five rate cuts this year. Now it's one or two.

There was an interesting discussion on Radio 4 this morning about where inter-bank Swap Rates are likely to land. The suggestion was 4.5% for the end of 2024, but 2% for the end of 2025, indicating that most of the pain (for savers) will come next year with interest rate cuts being limited this year. Probably explains why most rates have stayed as they are. 

Ford Money seem slightly out of alignment, but that's perhaps more a reflection of their own situation than wider market sentiment. At the moment it seems that "sit tight" is the mantra unless you want some certainty, in which case a trip over to the Fixed Rate Board might be an idea.
