Top Easy Access acs Ranked: Top of The Pots - **No Chat**

soulsaver

I've had a few suggestions/requests to start a separate 'No Chat' thread, as the ToTP list gets drowned in 'chat' in the 'Top Easy Access discussion' thread.

The aim is to maintain an easy-to-find ranked list of the c.Top 10, available to open & manage online, Easy Access accounts, with links. 

The purpose of this thread is to ONLY REPORT on  the top available-to-open Easy Access accounts - the list will be always easy to find as it's anchored on page 1, post 2.

There is already a hugely popular 'discussion' thread - recently morphed to: The New Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area 

It would be great if people continued to engage in the related discussion over there, keeping this thread clear, purely for reporting.



Key: AO = App Only; NLA = No Longer Available; WEF =With Effect From (date); EA - Easy(ish) Access; O/l =Online; Quad/Tri/Dbl = Quadruple/Triple/Double Access; EPR = Expected Profit Rate (Sharia); MinFR= Minimum for (the) rate.

02/05/24 ETA MinFR
24/04/25 ETA AO

Note: Generally, I don't rank 'aggregators'.

If I do, I'll put an extra emphasis on the 'Do Your Own Research' (DYOR) - which in essence means, I wouldn't use them - but others may take a different view.
There are several threads on the issue - see here for an example discussion that brings out some of the less-than-clear elements with aggregators and the FSCS deposit protection:

Ford Money 2.5% wef 19/10 initially existing customers only - So maybe grab it now with £1 for keeping options open? Flexible Saver pre-application checklist | Ford Money  Thanks @FindingBBob      

Dear Ed

As a valued customer we wanted to let you know about our upcoming rate increases:

• On Tuesday 18th October we will be increasing the rates on our Fixed Saver 1, 2 and 5 year products to 4.3%, 4.5% and 4.55% respectively.
• On Wednesday 19th October our Flexible Saver rate will then be increasing to 2.5%. This rate will initially be exclusive* to existing customers, so you won’t see Flexible Saver on sale to new customers from this date.
• In addition, we will be increasing our Flexible Cash ISA to 1.90% on that day for both new and existing customers.

As always, we hope these increases will help you reach your savings goals.

Best wishes,
Ford Money Team

        *Note 19/10 Have not implemented the published application restrictions yet.

eta strikethrough. 25/10 exclusive to existing customers.
