Re Bath BS 16-25 Regular Saver - if you go to the details tab, does anyone else still see 5.95% please? I believe this should've increased to 6.35% on 1st of February, and to 6.75% with effect letter today, but it seems not to have changed. I've sent them a message about it to get it checked, and potentially recalculated, but I was just curious to see if anyone else has found this.
EDIT: They confirmed it is now fixed, and should show correctly from tomorrow. Very impressed how quickly they dealt with it. Sounds like the system was calculating interest correctly and on the right rate, but it was just displaying wrongIf you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

It's already at 3.2%
Wonder what the real rate will be
Obviously a typo in their pdf for closed accounts1 -
