    Is there any lag on savings in/out of Shawbrook?
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    I have a Shawbrook Easy Access - Issue 14 - Monthly, however the account name has 0.05% at the end of it. I received a text message this morning from Shawbrook saying my Easy Access Account interest rate has been increased to 1.51%.

    Do I need to message Shawbrook to upgrade my account or can I just transfer funds to my existing issue 14 displaying 0.05% but I’ll actually earn 1.51%? 
    if you look at their archived rates PDF, it looks as though they automatically increase existing issues with the newer rates.

    however, I think the only time you should receive 0.05% for this account, would be if you have less than the minimum £1,000 opening balance.
    Interest rate for balances of £1,000 or more: 1.51% GROSS (monthly/variable);1.52% AER
    Interest rate where the balance falls below the minimum account opening balance: 0.05% Gross/AER (monthly/variable).
    if you have more than £1k in the account, then it might be worth getting in touch with Shawbrook; if it's less than £1k, then I think you'll continue to just get 0.05%.

    Not Easy Access, but better than the Zopa boosted 95-day rate that is being highlighted on this thread. OakNorth Bank 90 day notice @ 2.02%

    Are withdrawals via FP from YBS instant access accounts truly instant within a minute or so or does it take longer?
