For those who want to save more than £1000, with no strings attached..

Probably a silly question but NS&I pay interest (1.4%) annually. They paid out back in April. I am now thinking of transferring to a different account that offers better rates. Will the interest accrued between May and now still be paid to me by NS&I or would I forego this once the money is moved - and therefore tied into keeping it there until next April ?

You get all the interest earned. If you close the account, you get the interest paid now. If you leave the minimum £1 in there to keep the account open, your interest will be paid when they next pay interest in April 2023.

I know that..  hence I was indirectly asking (my comment was an addition to my original one)  for when an account will appear that pays 2.00% easy access with no strings attached...

Next time I'll put a question mark so some aren't confused..

Cynergy now 1.85%. I think this is an increase to the underlying rate as it is still Issue 53

Thanks. Top 10 easy access list page 671 edited accordingly...

How do you know which issue number you have?

I opened the latest issue (1.60%) on 5th August, but issue shows as blank when I look online.

I can’t recall where it shows on the Online Bank, but the 1.60% rate was Issue 53 so you will benefit from the uplift. 

Yes Issue 53 (opened 5/8/22) automatically updated for me to the new 1.85% rate.

Not that it was much of a problem as an existing customer to open a Cynergy Banks latest easy access account via the fast track route -

Cynergy Bank automatically increasing the rate on Issue 53 is even better
