Looking to close my Leeds BS 5.1% account as I don't need it any more and leaving £1 in another account just to keep something open/maintain membership... is it right that they don't have an online EA account like this? Closest thing I can find is a £100 min account that pays 2.45%

The other option could be to open the Regular Saver at 5.25%, it's £100 min but pays a better rate.

Leeds BS. After about 10 years break I've decided to restart my membership and opened RS for this purpose yesterday.  Am I correct thinking that all I need to do is to make initial deposit of £100 and that will keep the account alive (i.e. no further deposits required)?

If Charter and YBS are planning to reduce their EA rates (5.13% and 5.1% respectively) I would be grateful if they could announce it today before becoming recipients of my Shawbrook funds (5.11% to 5.0% tomorrow).

Is that perhaps the difference between monthly paid interest and annual?  I've found that I tend to get emails about interest rate changes that state the rate applicable to the option I've personally chosen.

Yes. This is the case here.
