I mentioned on the fixed thread that it seems to have gone quiet or everyone is holding back increasing rates. Shawbrook dropped to 1.81% the other day , I thought by now 2% was a possibility.

Next BOE interest rate meeting on the 15th, so I'm sure we'll see some more activity on this front in the next couple of weeks since that's widely expected to be at least a 0.5% increase.

Anyone heard anything from Ford Money? They are usually pretty good at keeping close to the top of the list, but heard nothing since the 0.5% increase. 

1.55%  currently.

Gatehouse and Al Rayan have been offering 2%+ for at least a week.

Is there a reason why the Gatehouse Bank account is no longer listed on MSE's savings accounts page? It still lists Al Rayan (in the non-standard savings section) but not Gatehouse. Still available according Gatehouse's website?

Here's a bit of an outlier. HoistSavings via Raisin. I somehow can't see them attracting many UK savers with that offer.

Re Al Rayan; I was looking at the notifications options in the app, and one of them is to receive an alert for "deposit received for FIT Account".  I'm probably having a senior moment, but what is a FIT account, please?  I've tried searching their website and can't see any reference to it.

Fixed Interest Term

Thanks for reply soulsaver, I did consider that's what it meant, but as Al Rayan are clear to state that the rates they offer are profit, rather than interest, I didn't think they would call one of their accounts fixed interest.
