I'll update the forum when it arrives, so other people will have an idea how long it takes.

Section62, has your security token arrived yet?  I was told it'd take around 3 to 5 days, but I've had nothing yet.

Not yet, no.   Hopefully today though, as I want to make sure I can get money out before taking advantage of the new higher interest rate.

No communications from Virgin Money as yet but having logged in to their desktop site I can see that the M Plus Saver is now showing an interest rate of 1%.

I agree.  

Bizarre though that their website is still advertising it as 0.35%

Not in today's post.

I requested it on Wednesday 23rd Feb, so if it arrived tomorrow that would be a full week.

Haven't had any notice from Coventry Building Society yet, but just checked and seen my Easy Access online and Easy Access ISA have both increased by 0.1%. Assume they'll be increasing others as well.

Thanks for the heads-up; I, too, have not received any notification from Coventry Building Society (CBS), so assumed that my account (Four Access Saver) would not be changing, but after reading your post, I logged in to CBS to find that it has also increased by 0.1%. 🙂

Not much, relative to the 2 base rate rises, let alone in absolute terms, but 'every little helps'!

I requested one the same day.  Disappointing that not arrived yet.

Just opened an internet easy access with Cynergy paying 0.72% and closed and transferred over the one paying 0.71% interest to date was included in transfer. I must have missed the update it was available from 25th February
