No MSE forum members ordered in bulk online when it was obvious our country would follow Italy & Spain

After the Marcus news I thought I would try to open a second Virgin C/A. Had forgotten much of the way I had accessed the previous one, it was just a memory of repeating everything over and over again. Eventually I got to the text verification stage. The code didn't arrive, I asked for another one. That didn't arrive either and then I was logged out for lack of action on the website. So I sobbed into my cornflakes and thought soddit. The code has just arrived, about 20 minutes later. In duplicate.

Not as bad as having to wait for the email and by the time it arrived the link had expired

The fools just sent me a text asking to complete an online survey asking for feedback about my account opening!

I received an email yesterday saying your new statement is available online

Kent Reliance have also announced today that they are reducing their rates. The last of my banks to drop their rate since the two base rate drops.

@SuperHans1 how did you hear from them? There's nothing I can see on their website, and the withdrawn products page still shows my account at the rate it is now

I haven't heard from them yet. I've got an easy access saver paying 1.3% still with them. But I also haven't heard from Virgin Money, who I opened an ISA in March which is also paying 1.3% which I will stick another £10k in if I don't hear from them.

Email from them this morning. My 1.5% easy access account is reducing to 1%, the same rate as their current offering.

I shall wait with baited breath by my Inbox. At 1% might as well stick with Marcus - at least the Transfers are almost immediate!
What date are they changing them from (mine is Issue 34)
