    Not the 90 day version, but I've got the 60 day notice account and I love their customer service. I received an email mid-May to say that it was dropping the interest rate on the 3rd August - so way more than the 60 days notice I would need to give if I was going to move it, but I won't as the 1.30% AER is still pretty competitive and I've already filled all of the usual suspects which can give more interest but on smaller sums.

    I have a 90 day notice still getting 1.90%, they wrote to me in April telling me it was reducing to 1.45% from 25 June. Had a reminder email yesterday. So still competitive and have always had a great service from Secure Trust Bank, no complaints.

    I think you might be mistaken because I had the 90 day notice account earning 1.90% and it reduced to around 1.5% in May this year.
