Thank you all for the replies. I was a little busy last year to be on top of everything, but even last year I'd expect a little more than 0.5% from a regular savings account. And even with recent rise in the rates this 2%(!) hike doesn't look right. They sort of admit that 0.5% was pathetic.

Last year, you could easily have got 3% for some of your money. @Special_Saver2 puts in a considerable effort to make it easy for us to pick the most appropriate offers. The Santander RS dropped from the top 10 in March 2018. 2.5%, OTH, is now in joint 2nd for adult Regular Savers.

"OTH" ?

I always get caught out by acronyms but even Google had no answer for this.

On theother hand.

I thought that, but on what planet does a four word description become a 3 letter acronym?

BAM

It doesn't. The abbreviation for "on the other hand" is OTOH.  😉

Ah thanks, I see.

@Daliah made a mistake and @schiff failed to mention this in their response.

TUO - two unforgiveable offences

Why can't people just say what they mean? I'm out of this.

Be thankful that you don't know an organisation that has acronyms within acronyms !

Any chance the discussion can be brought back to regular savings accounts?

My email inbox is currently full of acronyms.

Hi Everybody,

I hope you have had a nice long Easter weekend.

I cannot find anything that has changed for this weekend's update.

I will do the next update next weekend.
