Still showing 1.9% at the first page... but I see it in 'ALL ACCOUNTS'
Hold that: They must be editing it as we speak, first page conforms now, too.

ToTP edited accordingly for the reinstated No1, see here.

at the excitement of the 2.1% rate, I just managed to get access to my Al Rayan account blocked... I had to call their 0800 number... it took 45 mins to speak to someone and a couple of minutes to get through the security checks... all good now.

pity they play the same one track whilst waiting - it's going to be in my head all day now.

also, in case nobody mentions it, profit/interest is paid on the last day of the month (had mine yesterday).

You've got to hand it to Al Rayan, they're the quickest to react when their rate is beaten. Very impressed.

Yep and you don't have to open a new account to get the new rate, unlike some banks.

Tesco Internet Saver

A friend of a friend of a friend has had their Internet Saver account application blocked on the basis they already had six savings accounts (of various types) and six is the maximum number you can hold at any one time.

Note, not six Internet Saver accounts as per the T&C's/website, but six savings accounts in total.

Anyone with six accounts already may want to close one, or at least check with Tesco Bank, before spending time applying for a new Internet Saver, even if they have 5 or fewer IS accounts.
