    Just had an email for Nat West advising that they are reducing the rate on their Regular Saver from 29th August. 
    Good news for those with up to £5000 in it, is that it is remaining at 6.17% AER.
    Bad news for those that are daft enough to have over £5000 in it, is that the rate is reducing from 1.75% to  1.60%
    This was mentioned a few posts ago 
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

  • For anyone who has the Hanley Economic Online Regular Saver (NLA), it looks like the rate is remaining at 5.5%

    I love the optimism, but unless I'm missing something (very possible!) surely Hanley simply haven't announced their rate cuts on non-base rate linked savings accounts yet and are making us wait to find out how must they'll be slashing their savings rates by?

    As their list states all interest rates from 1st September 2024 I’m presuming that they’ve made the decision on all their rates, I could be wrong but hopefully not 🤞

    Ulster Bank have announced 0.45% cut from 14 October.  

    Taking a one year fixed rate at 5.5% back in June was a wise move.

    Even with Ctrl F5 and different browsers bizarrely I only get the FEB24 changes on the link!

    I'd still be concerned they may just be brewing their non-base rate linked account changes. The BRL ones all change 1SEP24, so it makes sense for them to have updated for those ones.

    If Hanley HAVE settled on no change for the others, it is an odd decision. Building societies only usually do that if they expect another quick base rate change, but with the MPC split 5-4 on the August cut, the next change is likely November or December, as I can't see the MPC cutting again in September?
