Come on Atom - if a high-street building society can offer 1.78% on an easy(ish) access account, then you need to raise your game !

They really do but they have been slow to update throughout. I withdrew all my money out a few months back.

According to moneyfacts, Principality BS will raise the interest rate on their online double access account (Issue 2) to 1.78%.

Thanks ToTP updated.

As an aside in the ToTP; I don't follow why the 'thanks @anyone' sometimes attaches itself to the link.
I put several spaces in between in an effort to separate them. But sometimes it works as it should.
Quirky.

Same with Marcus, I`ve given up on them and have very little in there now.

Any reason why the big banks such as Barclays/HSBC haven't passed on the base rate increase to savers?

Is it as simple as they don't need the money?

I’m a long suffering Halifax customer and the other day they doubled their fixed rate bond to a mighty 1.6% and their easy access to a staggering 0.45%
