Shawbrook 1 year fix up to 5.16% AER... with a monthly interest option too4

DF Capital 1 year fixed up to 5.15% (issue 12).
I sent them a secure message to request, and they quickly opened one for me, with fund plus interests fully transferred from my 1 year fixed 4.99% (issue 11) with them, which is still within its 14 days cooling off period, to that new account.3 -
I like DF Capital, they are very helpful and flexible. I've had several accounts I have opened and not funded having 14 days to do so and DF have closed and reopened these accounts due to increases in rates without asking them.bluu2k said:DF Capital 1 year fixed up to 5.15% (issue 12).

The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.1 -

My issue 11 cooling off period expired today. I thought of closing and opening issue 12, but then decided to stay with it because the amount I put in this account is small and not worth an effort to act on 0.16% uplift. But thanks for this tip, next time I will know that DF is that flexible. 2 -
I think i was just outside the cooling off but i cheekily sent a very polite request to change mine to the issue 12 and they very kindly have. which was very nice of them.allegro120 said:

Just had an email from Oxbury, 1 and 2 year fixed rate 5.31%, for existing customers. I have money maturing next week, so will go for the 2 year rate I think.4
