    What account? I have a few with Coventry but moved most things, especially the "loyalty ' ones funds across to Chase. Wasn't a faff.

    Not really that great as it is below the 0.25% increase in base rate and my Coventry regular saver is still returning below the 1.9% it was paying last year. At least the loyalty bond offers - 2.7% to August 2023 and 3% to August 2024 are reasonable.

    Are they worth a punt or is it better to hold out for further increases in base rates?
