Website potentially busy with people late to the party opening accounts, and those already in moving money and trying to check their balance?
Might move some money over tomorrow instead incase the website can't cope with heavy traffic on Friday2 -

Has anyone seen any indication of whether Coventry's increase will be mirrored in the Coventry account available through Hargreaves Lansdown Active Savings (which I happen to have one of already albeit with £0 in)...

This means the same or similar products offered directly by the banks and building societies may have different rates to those available on Active Savings.This would suggest maybe not.

I guess we'll find out next week - question is whether it's 1%, 99%, 37% likely...Currently paying 2.74% so maybe it will go up to 3.14%!0

Family saver (NLA) rising to 3% also.0 -
The Coventry 4 or 6 access seem to consistently keep up with BoE rises. There's up to a month before their rises come into force but they do publish the new rates very soon after the BoE announcement - it's certainly quicker than YBS. Other EA accounts seem to inconsistently increase after falling behind for a month or two but with Coventry there seems less need to shuffle between accounts.3
