Yeah, the PDF was posted by ForumUser7 at 5.33pm

My Easy Saver goes up to 1.90%, but minimum money in there. Just used for the £500 debit card spend for Halifax Reward accounts.

Bit of a funny one, Nationwide Flex Instant Saver going to 2% from Wednesday according to a MoneyFacts article. However this rate is not yet showing in their comparison tables, or on the Nationwide website. Perhaps other Nationwide accounts will increase their rates from Wednesday too? Be amazing if they all went up by 1%, but I don't know how likely that is. https://moneyfacts.co.uk/news/banking/nationwide-bs-offers-market-leading-current-account-switching-deal/

Same story in the Express

Thank you everyone who has posted links related to this.

Do people think other Nationwide rates will also increase on the 5th, or just that account?

This is an ISA but probably worth mentioning here as well, Penrith BS have a 2.75% easy access cash ISA: https://www.penrithbs.co.uk/savings/tax-free-savings/

Unfortunately have to open via branch or post though.

Thanks @ForumUser7.

Skipton Easy Access added to the 'ToTP' ranked Top Easy Access accounts list..
..in new section 'Up Coming'.

Easy Access Saver - Skipton Building Society

Why? Well I don't think it's right that an account that actually pays only 1.40% should occupy a slot at 1.90% for the next 2 weeks until the 'promised' rate becomes available.

But it is worth knowing it's on its way, so it's included.

On the Skipton PDF it shows the triple access saver (formerly a ToTP) at 1.95% - but it's not on their available list on the website.. so it must be NLA? 1.95%

Nationwide took 18 days after the previous BoE rate rise and they are still dithering about the last rise.
Their triple access is still stuck at 1.75%, probably will go to 2% shortly but they are still well behind the rest of the pack.
