    Gain of £52.03 only applies if funds otherwise would have received 0.00 Interest if left in 0% account.

    The funds get easy access interest from Santander, its hard to work out the exact figure as saved amount changes
    evey month, Plus its topped un when each RS matures and funds EA acount.

    It needs to be quick to do, because it will only earn you around £5 more than leaving the money in an easy access account

    You can use the MSE Regular Saver calculator. It works out an almost exact figure for you, though it is something between £5 and £6, assuming your remaining 9 deposits will be on the 1st of every calendar month

    And most people's Santander 5.2% will have ended long before this YBS

    Hence it's not an accurate comparsion
  • Think I'll pass on this one, running out of available cash plus need to top up my ISA allowance as much as possible.
    Already putting (or trying to) put £500 p/m in YBS Loyalty one so its no hardship.

    There will be other competitive easy access accounts that you can put your money in, so it is an accurate comparison.
