That’s good news about Shawbrook, I have also just seen that they have increased the rate of their 120 savings account to 1.54% including existing customers as mine has changed.

Easy Access savings increasing to 1% from 1st March for Virgin Money savers. Must have a linked 

This is a poor offering now- I doubt many people kept their money in for long. Any chance they might increase to 1.5% to match Chase?

Just had an email saying my Ford Money Flexible Saver is going up to 1.30%, effective today.

At the time of posting their website is still showing 1.15% though -

Via your link shows 1.3% so maybe you’re seeing a cached web page.

I have not used Ford Money before and found it easy to apply for a Flexible Saver account (1.3%) online.

There are options to receive interest annually or monthly.

I like Ford Money, but be aware of the withdrawal timescales. It is not instantaneous as indicated on the link below. The best that is possible is the middle of the day after the withdrawal request.

Interest though, is always correctly calculated to the day before the money arrives in the nominated account.

From this link:

'As Ford Money use a clearing bank (Barclays) this has some impacts on our transaction processing times.'

Not whizzy like Atom.
