  • Moneybox have increased the rate on their ISA, up to 5.1% (for me, tax Free) including introductory bonus. I know this is an ISA but it is easy access so can be used as a savings account. Once you have an ISA with them, you can also open a savings account, currently 5%.

    There are some conditions regarding number of withdrawals and interest rate and it's not a flexible ISA.  With that in mind, if you need a cash ISA to use as an easy access savings account then Chip would be better as it is flexible and has the same rate of 5.1%

    Th Moneybox ISA is actually 5.16%. Anyhow, ISA discussions are better placed here

    I expect quite a few Issue 36s were cleared out early March when the rate dropped to 5.0% (from 5.11% if memory serves).

    Pretty harsh cut from Shawbrook but considering how they usually stay in the charts, we can probably expect the same or worse from all the others.
