    What's the best way to handle when NatWest RS reaches £1000, withdraw all or some?

    Only the portion above £1k has reduced interest. I'm planning to just skim off the excess interest every month or two and leave the rest of the cash untouched until I need it for something.

    Where would you get 3.3% on £1,000?

    Being pedantic, it would only be 3.25% since the interest would not be compounded.

    The wheel has started to turn slowly hasn’t it, as of 1st April 2021 NS&I saving rate was 0.01% so I was getting a princely sum – drum roll if you please, a grand total £40 per annum or £3.33 a month. I will let you work out with your calculators how much cash I had loaned to the government state bank.

    As of now I will be getting around £322 every month with current interest savings rates. N.B. I am not with Chase bank.

    My feet are firmly on the floor, if you look at the archives here go back just a few years ago and people were moaning about only getting 5% interest savings rates. Interesting times ahead me thinks.
