Tesco internet saver up to 1.42..... are they slowly creeping up to 1.5? why do they not notify customers? or is it just me?

Look at it this way: each time they increase the rate, you close your old account and get the interest earned to date added to the new account you open, thus compounding early. So the APR is actually higher...

Unless things have changed recently, to close an account with Tesco, you have to phone them up to do so.

You should be able to do this online with internet banking.

Do you have a link as I cannot find any reference to a 2.7% easy access account?

It is clearly a mistake as there is no easy access account offering 2.7% but I am surprised that MSE would make a big thing of it without the report being proof read.

PS: The 2.7% is for a 5 year fixed rate account which has the capital sum locked away for the full 5 years.

Now, now. You're inappropriately responding to my response to Superscrooge.

Guilty, as charged.

It would have been nice to have seen a response from 50Twuncle though.

OK Secure Trust - 5 years fixed at 2.71% - no good for me - hopefully interest rates will have climbed a little by then !

Hi Guys
I just want to make people aware. The Tesco Internet saver is now paying 1.45%.

I just managed to apply a few minutes before. The application will still be waiting for approval.

I have money invested in a stocks & shares ISA (originally a PEP) when it was invested over 20 years ago (Fidelityj. I want to withdraw this money to pay for home improvements next Summer. Would it be wise to cash in this money before Brexit date, & if so, where should I put it in the interim. I know no-one can predict the full effects of Brexit. I am a tax payer, how much can I put in my instant access ISA per year.

You can sell the stocks and shares within the old ISA and transfer to a cash ISA if you wish.

Remember that you must ask the provider of the cash ISA to organise the transfer.

You could sell the stocks and shares within the ISA and transfer the money to a non ISA account.

You have a fresh ISA allowance for the 2018-19 tax year of up to £20,000.
