Issued a new interest rate leaflet yesterday, no changes to their open RS (2.5%) or closed RS rates.

Letter received today from Loughborough BS saying that they are increasing the maximum monthly amount which can be paid into their RS to £1000 (currently £500). This is stated to be so that they can "help" customers with their saving endeavours (or some such platitude). They would do more to help if they increased their rates in line with the base rate.happybagger said:Loughborough BS

            Kent Reliance finally creeping back with a 3% RS, as of tomorrow. Almost all existing issues will be upgraded to 3%, too. https://www.kentreliance.co.uk/interest-rates1

            The new Principality rates have been released. Some of the rows are incorrect I believe, i.e. my learner earner issue 3 pays 3.5% not 2.95% so this row is wrong. The First Home Saver Issue 3 rate is also wrong. Therefore perhaps take it with a pinch of salt, but seeing as it is official marketing communication I figured it deserved a post.
*EDIT* I've noticed this document is named 'Savings Rate Change Branch Notice September' despite being headed November

Just had that myself. Had to chuckle. I had reduced my s/o to £5 pm a month ago just to keep the account active (I appreciate there is no need to make a deposit but it keeps the details at the bank). Their rate has fallen well behind neighbouring ESBS now.Deleted_User said:
