    Shawbrook doesn't appear to have filtered through to MoneyFacts... but I'm liking the competition ramping up as the week ends...

    Interesting that it's top of the 2-year fixes paying monthly interest and yet appears further down the list as a niggly ad...
  • More to come this week I have no doubt
  • I cant see on Shawbrook how long the deposit window is open for? I have an amount I want to deposit now on opening but I have another amount arriving the 6th October - will I be able to add that to it then?

    From the account opening confirmation email: "Deposits can be made into your account until the product is withdrawn. You can check whether the product has been withdrawn by looking at the “Withdrawn Products” section of our website."
  • I have accounts with RCI & notice they have just increased all their rates. Fixed & easy access.

    7 days from withdrawal before closed to additional funds, so Oct 6th is pretty much a certainty....

    I downloaded a welcome letter too, but it didn't mention this 7-day additional window, not sure where you saw this? I imagine they want to avoid savers securing empty "options" whilst holding out for better deals, and instead lure in the cash quickly.
