    Hampshire 95 day account closes tomorrow.  Looking for the best 90/95 day home for the money.  Have RCA and Oxbury both about 5.46%. Anything else comparable guys?

    you mean RCi ?
    I don't have it, but Harpenden BS is paying 5.5% on their 90-Day (annual interest).
    Also, Dudley BS 60-Day paying 5.40% might be worth a look (that's more than their NLA 90-Day!).. again, annual interest.
  • My HTB 95 day account closes in a few weeks, It will just be going in the Santander easy saving at 5.2%

    Hi Daz - Just looked at the Santander easy access account.  It is 5.08%, I was excited for a while, lol.  

    Have just contacted Santander - it is 5.2 annual interest, 5.08 monthly interest.

    RCi is the highest-paying option for a 90/95 day notice account @ 5.60% AER so if that's the one you already have then you might as well top that up or is the issue that you already have that maxed out ?

    That 5.2% Santander easy access account was withdrawn a month ago, in case you hadn't spotted that it was no longer available.

    Ulster Bank have a 5.2% EA account - though you'd need £5k to get that rate... also, it will take a week to setup (from application, online ID checks, getting customer number by email, activation code by text.. to finally being able to fund it)... instant deposits and withdrawals.

    I have one open on annual interest so might as well use that for now than another notice account

    Seems little interest in competing for top spot lately.  I guess might stagnate from here without another BOE rate rise!
    No rises today will have to go to Cynergy 95 day at almost 5.5%.  I seem to remember they do not allow transfer to later / higher rate issues - if they increase within the 95 days, but will live with that!
