    Kent Reliance ......

    Just sat next to Mrs Bobble as she applied for the 4.51% Fix online as a new customer. I was very impressed at the slick new system, it took literally a couple of minutes to get everything done including online registration and auto-login at the end of the process. No awkward scrabbling for Photo ID's etc either! A far cry from what I remember when I was a new customer two and a half years ago!

    p.s. I did look away when she created her Username and Password  :)
    Just applied for this. Very easy registration as you mentioned, though not recognising passwords why trying to login. Tried resetting, but same issue with re-set password.
    Mrs Bobble just tried logging in now for the 1st time after logging out after the application ..... no problem.

    Moneyfacts have update Vanquis 1/2 year fixes to 4.35%/4.30% AER whereas Vanquis still have them on their website at 4.42%/4.38% AER, could be a sign of last chance to snap 'em up... with a 30-day deposit window, not a bad "option" to create...
    Dropped now indeed on Vanquis website...

    Some excess that  I need to get working for me so just opened the Kent Alliance fixed 12 month at 4.42 for the monthly income i use it for .
    14 day window so I expect to get all I need in there before any anticipated BoE cuts that may affect other savings accounts.

    Just paid a nominal starter fiver to my Kent Reliance - virtually instant confirmation of receipt from them.

    Presumably that initiated the correct interest rate being displayed?
