Just in the nick of time, I was going to post them my passbook requesting that they empty the account tomorrow. It appears they've saved me a trip to the post office.

So they reduced from 4.50% to 4,25% on 5th May and probably had a number of account closures and now back to 4.50% on 9th June. The mind boggles !

What a shower, I've just closed mine, got the cheque two days ago. Still not bothered, currently not entertaining anything under 5%. Lot's around much better than H&R.

From 4.75% to 4.25% then to 4.50% I think

Edited: To include rate notice effective 09/06/2023

Just after loads of customers will have emptied their accounts from the rate decrease and reset the account balances H&R have to pay interest on!

Still, as a HRT I've decided to simplify my regular saver madness and only keep accounts at 5.5% or better (on the basis the 3.3% tax-free offered by PBs is less hassle to maintain). So I can stay on the moral high-ground from my account closure flouncing!

Very hectic behaviour for a BS I won't be returning for 4.50%, especially for something that requires writing letters and involves receiving and cashing cheques instead of a normal bank transfer.  Also 4.5% is now below my threshold for RS accounts. I still have BoS and Lloyds at that rate maturing in Oct/Nov, but won't get involved in any new offers at less than 4.75% at this stage.

Initially I decided to only open regular savers that were 4.5% or better. I've got 17 now but only 5 are below 5%.
H & R at 4.5% can easily be bettered.

I kept my H&R Regular saver open when they reduced the rate to 4.25% in early May, as I felt it was still a good rate and I already have most of the other regular savers paying more.

I am taking advantage of these higher savings rates while they are available.  I think that once inflation falls sufficiently, the Bank of England will be wanting to reduce the base rate.  When that happens it will be difficult to get these savings rates.

Just something to bear in mind.
