    Looks like the Zopa smart saver is now up to 1.5% for the access account (or 1.85% for the 95 day boosted pot).
    That must be hot off the press - I looked at mine pm today and they were the 'old' rates... :)

    95 day boosted pot from 1.80%  to  1.85% is not wow in my book.

    Better than a slap in the face though. And particularly nice that the increase is indeed applied to boosted pots you've already created (the pot I opened on 23rd June is now showing 1.85%, contrary to what Zopa's own support said would happen).

     is there anyway to pay away interest with zopa? AFAIK there is no standing orders, so I would have to login and withdraw the interest myself, correct?

    1.85% for Zopa's 95 day notice account is nice, but it would have been nicer if they had matched Allica Bank's 95 day notice at 2%. Still hoping they'll increase it when the next base rate announcement comes along.

    Anyone think the others that have dropped off the list will catch up?
    I’ve got 70k with Marcus 1.30% trying to decide if I should move it now.

    This might already have been asked about Zopa so sorry... what happens with interest over the maximum allowable amount of £50k?  Do you need to withdraw it straight away? 🐈
    Just my opinion, no offence 🐈
