Okay thanks.CuparLad said:RG2015 said:Okay thanks.
However 5.20% fixed for 12 months from opening is somewhat inconsistent with we can change the interest rate.The Key Facts document you have linked to states that the rate is variable:5.20% AER/gross (variable) for 12 months from account openingI'm afraid it's the account that runs for 12 months, not the rate.
I was sure it read 5.20% fixed for 12 months but I must have been mistaken.0 -

It was in an MSE article, which appears on the RHS of my screen. Apologies, I seem to be getting sloppy with citations of late.Chadsman said:

It has been confirmed in the webchat of the app. They've also said that they are unaware of any planned changes to the interest rate on the 7% Edge Saver.13 -

It's ironic that the news source was in front of us all the time on the MSE news feed.Bridlington1 said:

As regards your failure to add your source, the truth is that your reputation is the only citation required.

Debatable, as MSE are showing both dates in different sections of the report.jaypers said:Drop is on 20/5 not 8/5.
Let's wait and see if they correct it any time soon.
Also, @Bridlington1 said they confirmed this on the Santander app webchat. Maybe they have the correct date from the horse's mouth.

I've just phoned them to query this and after a couple of minutes on hold they said the rate will indeed reduce on 20th May and not 8th May as the article originally stated so we've 12 more days at the 5.2% rate than I'd originally been led to believe. I'll update my original post to reflect this.RG2015 said:
