I tried to open an account with Al Rayan yesterday and just get an email "thank you for your application, we will contact you shortly"

Zopa has officially gone from hero to zero as far as I'm concerned.

That said I'll happily edit this post if they up their rate in the next couple of days

Opened Al-Rayan account on Tuesday 4th October and all I've had is email does anyone think I should phone them up.

Did you fill everything in online?

Have you got your ac number and details?

Have you deposited funds? 

Is it a welcome to AlRayan email?

Do you have the app and can you see your deposit in the account?

If you’ve done all that then everything is fine.

yes, been hoping they would update, but getting to the point now of having to look to move away, surely you'd think any mass exodus would set alarm bells ringing.

Every time I log in and see loads of updates to this thread I open it with anticipation, hoping that increased Smart Saver rates might be the cause They'll do it when they have a business need to, I guess.

Will start and move my savings out of zopa tomorrow unless there is movement today. Two weeks is long enough.

It's not quite a month since Zopa's last rise and it was around a month between their previous rises - when they're ready they'll update them. They're not the highest but they're not the lowest either. If all your savings fit into one account then shop around but otherwise they're still useful like the others above 1.8%. Fewer wishing for.. and thinking about doing.... type posts would be good.

I rang them today to ask, was only told they'd increased their fixed rates and nowt else and if any changes in rates they'll email about it.

I'm not thinking, I'll be leaving zopa tomorrow. Still folk waiting for Chase to up their rates... I'll keep the account open in case they up their rates.
