  • Re First Direct RS
    The RS page is now stating 3.5% interest, but when I log in to apply the page is still showing as 1% interest....  Anyone else seeing this?

    Well, at least it's not just me.  Hopefully the internal pages will update later.

    Just logged in again using a laptop & the interest is now showing 3.5%.  Application went smoothly, as usual with FD "the account can take up to 3 days to show".  But at least it's open & showing the correct interest on the application page now.

    Opened a Coventry RS online, or so I thought. Over a week later received an application form from them to complete and return to open the account. The prepaid envelope was not there. The letter also said I had to include a cheque for my first deposit but application form asks me how I want to make my deposit, including by bank transfer. Don't think I'll bother as much better RS available

    HSBC UK have tweaked some of their interest rates from today, Thursday 28th April 2022 (Online Bonus Saver now paying up to 0.45%).

    Their Regular Saver would appear to be staying at 1% 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️ :/ (page 12 and 13 of the PDF leaflet - see below for link).
