    My Halifax Regular Saver matured yesterday.  I am loathe to keep it going for 1%, but who knows - that might be a good rate in a few months time!
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Loathe it or not 1% will possibly be the norm in a few months' time  >:)

    The norm in a few months time is quite likely to be a lot lower than 1%

    Saffron BS!  They sent out an email announcing cuts in the interest paid on variable-rate accounts.

    My last Yorkshire BS RS matured today. No RS replacement. I'm going to miss them; when you enter your year of birth as part of the verification, the list starts around the Wall St crash. With most of them you scroll through the year of birth list backwards from 2020, with the result that by the time you get to your year, you finish up depressed.

    The only Regular Saver affected by this (being variable-rate) is the 170th Birthday Saver. All other Regular Savers (none now available to new customers) are fixed-rate.

    I received a letter from NatWest today, advising me that they are reducing the rate on their Savings Builder account from 1.00% to 0.75%.

    I had imagined that Santander's RS rate couldn't possibly fall any lower than 0.75% ... but that's been pulled and replaced with a new issue at only 0.50% !
    I wonder how low they'll go before things start picking up again?
