    Coventry BS Rate Decreases From 2/9/24:

    NLA:
    Loyalty Regular Saver (2) from 6.75% to  6.5%
    First Home Saver from 5.6% to 5.35%


    I hold the first edition First Home Saver, however, despite having an email from Coventry BS this morning about reducing the rate on my EA account, I have had no formal notification of a reduction to First Home Saver (1), despite having five-figure sum in there!
    I have five accounts with Cov of which 4 have been notified to me so far at various times from 0721 to 1010.
    The only one missing is the FHS 1,but thy still have the rest of the day to inform.
    And the fated email has arrived, confirming the drop 🤦‍♂️🤣

    Just out of interest, what are people’s minimum RS rates they think are worth having now? Mine is 5.5%…….have access to the Santander 5% one but just doesn’t seem worth it.

    Out of my current list of RS I believe my lowest rate is 7%, I did have T&C at 5.75% which recently matured but they had a high monthly deposit which was the attraction.  I'd probably take one at 5.5% too.

    I have just updated the spreadsheet on our RS rates, we have 16 on fixed rates and 7 on variable rates. We just opened the Santander at 5% just in case.

    All depends on how much you have available, what accounts you are eligible for etc as you are limited how much you can fund each.

    Currently 5.5% is my minimum funding wise, has been for a while, did have several 5.25%.

    I'm emptying my Bank Of Scotland regular & closing my Halifax regular soon though as need to free up funds.

    Next minimum will be the YBS 5.75% Loyalty Regular I think, then TSB @ 6%

    I'm not due to have savings end until 19th September or something so got a YBS 7% ending  & a 8% Nationwide ending, so over £8000 due to me, gotta keep going till then.

    I agree 5% isn't worth it if you can fund better accounts, eg other regular savers, Santander Edge Saver, Cahoot Sunny Day etc.
