  • Only have a £1 in there, however, I also will renew the bonus, just in case it gets reduced again in the future.

    Same rate of 1.3% for their cash ISA in case anyone is interested.

    Well spotted and ahead of MSE on this one ! I would be interested if they allowed transfers in but they don't, sadly  :/

    Guys, 1 question as at the moment I am also thinking of moving to chase (1.5) from Marcus (1.15)

    Don't the banks stop the transactions?
    Don't they block because of "fraud" concerns?

    (Now my Marcus is connected to HSBC)

    How do you go on with that as even when I move 100 pounds, HSBC blocks me until I go and speak to them and blah blah which takes AGES

    Thanks

    Marcus is now up to 1.30%, but you would need to update your bonus which is now 0.25%.

    My Marcus account is linked to NatWest and my transfers, sometimes 5 figure amounts, are always instant and have never been blocked.

    Glad I decided to keep my Marcus account open, as like you I'm now moving money from Coventry BS back to Marcus.

    Just took the offer, but with only £1 in the account it won’t do much.
    If they met Chase at 1.5% I would put my money back in but that’s just the way it is.

    I just wish Marcus would join COP as NatWest keep sending me alarms with transfers to Marcus; as in are you sure, Marcus are Not Confirmed.

    BOE have raised rate again since Marcus last put it up & likely to be raised again.  If they go above 1.5% wonder if Chase would respond as I imagine a lot of people who moved out would move back again !
