..... and my £1 test deposit today will not be viewable until Tuesday (next working day).

Do Ford Money observe US Public Holidays then?

Cynergy must look at this thread!

They have just raised their rate to 1.32%

As always, a new account will have to be opened with them to get the new rate.

Cynergy pays interest annually, which is a deal breaker for some.

Cynergy have brought out so many new accounts in recent months, I receive interest every few weeks when I upgrade to their latest account, although for me interest once a year wouldn't be an issue.

Opened a new one in seconds and closed old one

Same here although I kept the old one open with a couple of quid in it so I didn't have to set up a new payee from my nominated account.

For the first time I see they have changed the number sequence of the account number.

Normally the number is just one higher than last time, but not this time.

I close to ensure interest earned moves over to new account

Tried to open one online at 6.45pm but got an error message just saying "Something went wrong" at the end of the process. Immediately, I then got an email saying the account was open, but that I needed to log on to see the details. I logged back in and the new account was not visible.

I called them and the CSA could see the account had opened but confirmed that she could only see it on some sort of in-house system and offered to put a report in to fix it. CSA said wait for email to confirm it was "fixed". So I'm waiting to see it online and transfer the funds from the 1.2% EA  to the new 1.32% EA. The CSA declined to do the transfer for me

Yes they seem to have some kind of IT issue. I too rang and was told new account open, she could see it but I could not. She 'gave me access' but then said it would take 24 hours to appear....

Not the usual near instant account upgrade this time!
