Anyone know how to get a statement from Zopa? They've been a bit useless so far but I need one as soon as possible.

Note the Zopa increased rates for Access@ 1.3% and the  boosts @ up to 1.6%. Smarter Savings built for real life - Zopa

It's clearly applied to the Access accounts, but I'm unclear if they are applying these to existing boosted (notice) pots, so you may want to check if material to you.

@soulsaver - just logged in to Aldermore and their Easy Access interest rate has changed from 0.85% to 1.10% (as of 31st May)... so it's passing mention in the top 10 might need to be updated next time.

As you allude to, it only qualifies by it's Double Access rate - so I've updated the passing comment EA rate that was included for info., thanks.

Let's hope the DA is upped soon, too. :Thumb:
