The Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area

Yes, and also probably best to wait until the top rates start to flatten out then consider longer fixes

I think it would depend on whether you like to put all your eggs in 1 basket. Many of us like to drip feed in and operate a 'ladder' savings strategy. At the moment 4+% seems reasonable for the next rung on my ladder and in a months time it's not unreasonable to expect 5+% the way things are going

Gatehouse Easy Access - a bit more information for new account holders

After having opened the account yesterday, and making several deposits from my nominated account, today I can see a message in the app, saying "Your nominated account must be authenticated before it can be used for withdrawals". There is no explanation in the app how this authentication works, but if you log into online banking they tell you that they will send you an authentication code in the post, and you then enter this code in online banking to complete the authentication process. This sounds like a security measure - not 100% foolproof but better than not verifying the nominated account.

Cheers for that. There's no explanation anywhere of this, so was wondering myself.
Same with Ford Money, but they explain it on their website

It worked well, opened account and filled it.
Four days later code arrive, entered it in the box.
All done.

Tandem's instant access saver account is now paying 1.85%.

Still says 1.65% in the app. Not that it makes any difference on my £1 balance.

Anyone know what the Cambridge BS and Sainsburys account are like for deposits and withdrawals in terms of how long it takes?  Are they near instant?

Thanks in advance

I requested a withdrawal from the CambridgeBS on Sunday morning & it was in my linked account by 6.30am Monday. I tend to make deposits using a debit card, I’ve not used faster payments into the Cambridge as yet

ToTP updated latest here with Cambridge BS & Sainsbury's (Tandem doesn't make the 10, but included for now in the BIG ToTP list).

There's quite a few dropping off in tomorrow's month & weekend update.

I believe this account is a withdrawn account but many will likely still have it.

Good news - we’re increasing the interest rate on your Limited Access Saver (Online) again.  New rate 2.25% APR.

Is that the Four Access Saver?

just had an email from Tandem:

"Great news! We're just about to increase the interest rate on your Instant Saver to 1.83% gross / 1.85% AER, and we can't wait to help you save and hit your money goals.

We'll apply this higher rate to your account automatically, so you don't need to do anything and you don't need to contact us. Your account will update and you'll see your new rate in the app by the end of the day on Thursday the 29th September 2022. Happy saving."
