    I think this is a case of operator error. I have no problems getting money out.
    Wearing my other one today.

    I noticed on the Tandem website it mentions linking via open banking to pay in/out. So does that mean this wouldn't have the same issues as other savings accounts with transfers being stopped for fraud checks? Or would that still potentially happen?

    I moved 25k into my funding account from tandem to fund my chase account without any issues.
    Was in my bank account 1 minute later if that helps.

    Looks like Marcus has increased their interest rate to 1.0% (Inc 0.10% bonus rate). 

    It was 0.7% yesterday when I transferred some funds to chase.
    Very odd they did that without fanfare or announcement

    Marcus increased to 1.% from today 8th April but they have increased the existing account to the new rate no need to update bonus

    Whoop.     


    The market seems to be moving ever so quickly at the moment.     Just when you make one decision...the goalposts move and you wonder if you should have waited.    (was looking at Aldermore Double Access @ 0.95%)

    I'm not "chasing rates" any more, as I was trying to simplify our finances, but you can get sucked into the rabbit hole.

    Bye bye Premium Bonds.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    That was a welcome surprise.  :)

    I have just checked and my Marcus Online Savings account is showing 1%.
    Their Cash ISA is paying the same rate too, 0.90% plus 0.10% bonus.

    It should be noted that Marcus will be performing online maintenance over the weekend and payments in and out might not show until Monday 11th April 2022 at the latest:
