Dear All

I understand Marcus online Saving Underlying rate has changed a few times. Where the last one is 1.05%.  I understand on the top of it there is a one-year bonus (1.g 0.15 last year). I just have a look on my account and I could not find anyway to renew the Bonus. Do they still offer the bonus? If so how to apply/renew for the bonus. Thanks

Sadly, they stopped offering the one year bonus about September 2019.

Looks like Skipton are launching a new variation of their online bonus account. Will pay 1.20% PA including an introductory bonus of 0.50% for the first 12 months. Not bad at the moment. Will be moving everything out of my Marcus into this when it becomes available (looks like tomorrow). Worth a post as it will be higher than NS&I

I see its available now.
Whats a saver 16?
My existing Marcus is still at 1.05%
Would I change to Skipton? Um No
Gain is 0.15% for a year then close it - that's £1.50 per £1000 per year then I have to set it up and move my money twice within 1 year - in and out. All that for £15. if you have £10,000 in Marcus.

eSaver issue 16 - https://www.skipton.co.uk/savings/easy-access/e-saver

0.70% for balance of £1 - £24,999

So rather openeing eSaver 16 issue I will open a new "Online Bonus Saver Issue 7".  May be this is not a best choice for you but atleast to me as I do not have Marcus savings account.
