    Gatehouse have added the interest/profit due to those who opened their RS accounts on 29/11/23.

    Not 100% sure what rate is applicable to the easy access accounts. I would be pleasantly surprised if it is 5% as the account suggests in online banking/their app..
    I didn't expect this, I thought they will either morph the account into EA at 4.51% (4.6%AER) or transfer the money into my existing EA.  5% EPR is 5.12% AER, but it is still showing as Regular Saver.  If it shows as EA at this rate tomorrow I won't be withdrawing.

    If that's a normal EA account then we can, the limit for my existing EA is £250,000.

    Mines states 5% AER in app. 
    States 5.00% Gross p.a. / AER.  Not clear what it is, it won't matter for RS, but will make a difference for EA. In any case in current environment 5% is a great EA rate.

    I've made a stupid mistake. Rushed in and closed the account using the app. Money to be transferred tomorrow to my nominated account. I don't think I can reverse the closure instruction. Lesson learned, don't act in haste.
