    You are still getting 5%. They could change it, but they haven't done so yet - suspect they won't.

    I know you are...because I am. If you want a second opinion, Santander will also know. :)

    If/when they do reduce the rate they'll give 2 months notice anyway.

    Even if there was a problem with your post, ie you don't receive the notification, it's easy to check/keep checking on their website's 'interest rate finder'.

    Re castle96 post - Wasnt iss 1 fixed ? Iss 2 is variable.

    The PDF file I downloaded at time of opening account (Issue 1?) shows 'variable', but they may have changed their T&Cs at some stage.......

    Hi Folks,

    I have completed this weekend's update for the first page of this thread.

    - Cambridge BS Regular Saver (issue 4) withdrawn; removed from post 4 (I have actually removed it this time!)



    I have looked at the Progressive BS and moneysupermarket.com websites and they are not showing a drop in the interest rate. Did you get a letter saying it was going to drop and on a particular date?

    I will do another update next weekend.

    Re Progressive, I am in NI and phoned them last week re their Clockwork Regular Saver and they told me rate being reduced from 2.20% to 1-point-something in the autumn. Can't recall exact figure!
  • Both the Clockwork Regular Saver and the Clockwork Regular ISA Saver are being reduced with effect from 1st September 2016.
    The rate has diminished from 2.2% to 1.5%.
    (Letter from Progressive B.S dated 10th August)
    Will have to find another home for my regular savings.
