Any strong feelings about Wombat (4.91% @ BOE less up to 0.5%?).

I'm drawn to trackers.

If you do want to open the account remember they offer a £10 welcome bonus in a addition to a refer a friend offer (£10 each) for new customers who open an investment account with them (no deposit required to get the £10). 

Their savings accounts are excluded from the sign up offer so make sure you open an investment account with them first before opening the savings account.

Does the £10 bonus offer apply to their ISA as well?

Yes it does. Note the £10 bonus would also count towards your ISA allowance.

I have tried to open both a GIA and an ISA and keep getting as far as adding the nominated bank account details and get the following message, "an unknown error has occurred'

I've checked and re-checked all of my details etc., and everything is correct.

Anyone else had any difficulty? Is this maybe just a temporary problem at their end?

Yes it did that with me. Not impressed with them

Were you able to progress it or did you give up on them?

Hi all, quick question if anyone can help. 

The roundup account for Chase - I can't see that I'm getting monthly interest, can someone please share where I would find this in the app? Is it lumped in with other interest?

Many thanks!

Roundup rewards are kept separate, you get a statement once a month, available together with the CA and SA statements. Interest is paid monthly and mine is added on the 1st of a month, the rate is 5% pa.

Unless I'm getting mixed up, won't it be issue 9?  as they have lately withdrawn issue 8

Cahoot ?, interest is paid up to £3000 balance 

Santander Edge Saver? (You'll need an Edge Current Account 1st) , interest is paid up to £4000 balance.

Not much other options unless you have a lot of money to deposit/withdraw or already with a bank/building society.

Other thing to consider is a Regular Savings account for better rates, most you can easily close without penalty, however you might only be able to open 1 per year with a bank/building society etc.

Maybe consider a Notice Account?

This is what I'm seeing on moneyfacts:

They have been known to relaunch previous issues before so I believe it is indeed going to be issue 7 and not a new issue 9 being launched.

You are correct though, they have withdrawn issue 8 fairly recently so I should've typed ``relaunched" rather than ``launched".
