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...

    First save 3.5%.

    Fixed for seven years in 2014.

    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.

    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.
