Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

stoozie1

thanks for that gt94sss2

the savings rate on that account (for new customers presumably?) is still showing at the old rate.

Does anyone happen to know if they've just not got round to updating the page or if this will be available to new customers also?

Same e-mail from Santander just arrived.

Stoozie1 - it's from 3rd April, so I would imagine if it's available to new savers that it will update on Monday.

ah yes. D'oh! Thanks.

Just received the same email.

My email was sent at 11:37BST, so it appears that the emails are being despatched in batches.

At least it's good news for once!

I have phone Santander......confirmed genuine. Only £200 a month and one account though!

I've had the same email from Santander.

First time in ages that I've been notified of an INCREASE in the rate on an existing account. I thought at first the date today must be April 1st.

I don't get this. I've two of these taken out 10 months ago at an advertised rate of 5%. Are you saying that at some point the rate affecting my accounts was reduced? I thought they were fixed at the time you opened them?

No and yes!

The interest rate on your accounts remains at 5% until they mature in two months time. When/if you wish to open a new account, you will receive the current interest rate for new accounts which has been 3% for several months; now it's going back to 5% so you'll notice no difference when you renew. For those of us who opened the account in the first month of being offered (March 2016), we'll receive only 3% for a few weeks until the rate goes up to 5% on April 3rd.

PS: How do you have two accounts? - one is the maximum.

Hmm, I haven't had any mail but then I have an Issue 2 one which is paying 3%. Wonder if its possible to "upgrade" it to Issue 4?
