Not much going on other than reductions... so I thought maybe we could do something (and nothing) just for interest
 ...as we ain't getting much from banks lol.

So, just for entertainment and a laugh at how bad the rates are, not a competition:

What is the best rate of interest that you're currently earning from a  bank or building society, excluding regular savers? 

Here's one of mine to get the ball rolling, and for a bit of scope, but I'll add some more when/if it gets any, er, interest:

1.2% 1 year fix ISA to end of June 2021 with KRBS is worth 1.5% for comparative purpose to me as brtp on savings interest.

eta.. spacing.

    You've not stipulated that they need to be available anymore so...

    5% at Nationwide for me and Mrs Notepad + joint - till March 2021  :)

    Then for accounts that can still be opened there are the Virgin current accounts @ 2% - is it 6 or 7 that we've got between us.

    I still have 20 months left on a Tandem fixed at 2.4%
  • Ford Money Fixed Rate ISA at 1.25 until May 2021 and Aldermore Fixed Rate ISA until March 2023. Pretty pathetic but better than current offers.

    That 3.5% fix's looking like a really good decision now.
    I (just about) got their 1.7% 1 year fix until March '21.
    They don't have to be available - but they do have to be currently paying.

    Indeed it was a fortunate pick.

    A Tandem at 2.3 until November and a Paragon at 2.25 until 2022 are my second and third best.


    I too also have the 1.7% First Save.
