Coventry 1.55 from 1st Sept

Hi Olinda - I can't see that on their web: EA Saver (7) is going to 1.1%.. The EA 1.25% going to 1.55% that I can see... is an ISA?

Easy Access | Savings (coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk)

Hi - abject apologies - yes you are right - it is the ISA that is going to 1.55%, not the non-ISA

Strange, it is usually the non-ISA that has a higher rate.

They say they won't raise rates for SVR mortgages, so I assume that will limit the scope for savings rates.

Just a point to mention….. When I opened both a Marcus & ZOPA Account I received from Marcus a letter through the post giving me my account details and other information. ZOPA on the other hand with the exception of an email have not sent anything.

I cant see where you support your claim! So its a bit of a liberty saying I should.

It's all in clause 10.1 of the Ts & Cs quoted earlier, interest is paid according to the key product terms, so monthly or annually.

Not daily....

Interest is CALCULATED daily, irrespective of how often it is PAID.

Thank goodness Zopa is all paperless.

Might be asked before but does the interest over the £85k with Zopa also earn interest or is £85k the maximum you can earn interest from? 🤔

when it was £50k you could still go over £50k from interest, so I expect so. Don't forget tho that its £85k FSCS protection tho (something that should really be updated with inflation)

edit, sorry in regards to if the balance over the £85k, it doesn't seem to state a tiered rate so I think it will earn interest over it.
