Notice Accounts

Apologies if this is already in the thread, does anyone know if Oak North allow for managing the notice account by telephone?  I am struggling to find any decent interest accounts which do not require internet and/or smartphone.

Opening the account online is OK but telephone access would be beneficial.

they have a telephone number for queries, but unsure if the account can be "managed" that way.. it's possible they may, but suspect they wouldn't want to open themselves to it becoming a norm.

querying Moneyfacts gives First Save (90 days 5%) or Family BS (35 days @ 5% <10k) as the highest paying notice accounts that officially support telephone management.

btw - Cahoot have an EA account (phone supported) paying 4.85% if you aren't necessarily looking for a notice account.

Is that Cahoot the best EA account about? I'm looking to spread some money between accounts/

Ulster Bank is still paying 5.2% for another 5 weeks before it drops to 4.75% - though I think you'd have to apply for their current account first now.... remember with both Ulster and Cahoot, you'll get 2 months notice on interest rate drops.

I made a deposit into both my Investec Flexi and 90 day notice accounts last Friday. I generated statements soon after and my new transactions were on it. Last Monday I made more deposits but these are not showing on the statements generated today. The deposits were definitely successful as I received confirmation texts for them and the transactions show on the dashboard. A chat online was fruitless and I was asked to email details which I have done and I wait in anticipation. Has anyone else made a deposit this week and generated a statement successfully?

I have had the same issue - most recent two deposits showing on the dashboard following text confirmation but not in a generated statement. I was going to wait until the monthly interest date to see if anything changes before raising a query. Do please post any follow-up from your own.

Well it's now a week since the problem. My statements are now updated today (Friday). I don't know why yet as I'm still waiting for a reponse to my queery. Maybe it's a fixed bug but I'll do a £1 test on Monday. @Keith80

Thanks! Just produced one and the tool now seems to be working properly in my case too, which is a relief because I was reluctant to commit more to the account while it wasn't.

I had a response today (Tuesday) that "they believe the issue has been resolved". @Keith80

Investec 90 Day reducing. Guess it was only a matter of time! That’s me giving notice on mine then.
