£102 / £2,400
PS You will need to keep the Al Rayan above £5,000 throughout the year.

It’s not clear from the terms, if I withdraw from Al Rayan to leave less than £5k am I still earning the full interest on that amount? I know the initial deposit requirement is £5k but I’ve withdrawn most to deposit elsewhere. So there’s about £3k left in there.0

Regarding the Monmouthshire BS accounts, from the Key Product Info summary......N. Ireland residents seem to be excluded from opening accounts

Instead of filling out documents and send them through the country I can just put 2.4k in a 1y fix with Atom for 4.35% AER / 4.27% Gross and it is more or less the same rate. Interest is paid monthly so if I open today I get also 4 months worth of interest paid into this years PSA allowance protecting my PSA next year.sturgeon said:It’s not clear from the terms, if I withdraw from Al Rayan to leave less than £5k am I still earning the full interest on that amount?

Based on evidence of ppl on here - you get the full interest on 1 pound +, the 5000 is just to open it.0

chris_the_bee said:I-LOV-MONEY said:I remember the 'old days' where you found an account, put your money in and then only went back to it when you needed to make a withdrawal. However, I expect then the interest rates weren't so volatile, and there weren't so many providers offering accounts.with so many conditions.
So what does the team think (!), am I asking for the moon ?Anyone know if the 'flexibility' extends to deposits as well as withdrawals? can’t see it in the T’s &C’s.
Looking at moving any accumulated balance from current A/C to this and then back again should an unexpected event occur.
