    As it seems to allow more than one deposit, just topped mine up to £500 monthly deposit and set it at that.

    Good spot James :smile:

    I have just started to complete the SRBS online application form only to find when I get to the stage asking me to check all the info I have given it states the interest rate is something like 1.5% and not 2.5% so I stopped at that point. What’s going on, has It not been updated? It may well be wrong but I’m not happy to agree to the info and move on.


    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    If you read JamesRobinson48's post it stated that it is effective from 15 August, today is the 13th....

    I suspect it's an admin error rather than something sinister as the rate is clear on their website, I would imagine once opened the account will be paying the correct amount.
    If it's not then it's not too much hassle, either complain and/or close it depending upon whether they correct it or not.


    And of course, it's not the 15th yet as @Every_Penny_Counts pointed out.

    I noticed that too when applying. However it states on the website that the rate is variable and will be 2.5% from 15 August (Monday). I carried on, on the basis that 2.5% will be the applicable rate from Monday. It does say that the account can be withdrawn from sale at any time, so presumably there is a limit to the number of applications they will accept, I thought it best to get in quick.

    Previously, when they've had enough applicants, they changed it to local post codes only.
