Let's see how long it will take for Al Ryan to increase their profit rates to be the only one on top again.1

Monmouthshire - Premium Instant Account
Just spoke to them. "Inundated with applications and impacted by postal strikes. If not received anything by 9th December, give us a call."0 -
YBS might have already been at #1 with their Loyalty Six Access eSaver if they hadnt been so slow at increasing rates this time - it's scheduled to rise to 3% on the 9th1

Al Ryan:
- You need 5k to open it, once open the rate is paid on balances > £1
- Easy access is unlimited (avoid movements on a weekend as they are a Monday - Friday bank
- Rather strict with fraud prevention, had to call them twice to authorise a payment. Waiting music is for my taste aweful.
Coventry:
- You can open from £1
- Only 6 withdrawels a year
- I can't make any comment on how fast they operate and if truly instant also on weekends as I don't bank with them
You could split and open both to use Al Ryan as a feeder account and Coventry for less regular access needs to "park" cash to use at a later time for ISAs, bonds, etc.0 -
Don't forget Coventry BS First Home Saver The only restriction is you're limited to depositing £1000 per month but it's giving 2.95% with easy access.2

So they are slow (all transfers are sent via another bank) but they never asked me to authorize a payment.

Last time Al Rayan was 'stirred' was by another 'Expected Profit' topping them at 2.80% .. GH went 2.80 in the morning... and AR went 2.81 the same afternoon.
After a couple of days, and after sucking AR in, Gatehouse made their 2.80 NLA.0
