    Yep, disappointing news today.  
    Hmmm, keep at new rate or withdraw and fix at probably 0.65% (1 year), grim times indeed!

    Marcus paying 0.5% (at the moment) for a very slick instant access account.

    Yeah I have Marcus although not much in the account at the moment but I don't need access to the money in the BLME account at present so for me there's no point faffing around transferring chunks of money for the same interest rate currently but it might be worth it for the additional 0.15% and a fixed rate..

    Slim pickings!
