Yep, always enough and has always worked for over a year
edit: also just double checked and round ups is still on
Edit2: it’s possibly not FamilyBS, but NatWest just randomly Not rounding up. I’ll do another test and see if it happens again and report back next week

Update: looks like it was just a glitch with NatWest as today’s round ups are showing with Family Building Society rounded up.0

The Big ExchangeToday I've received an email to say interest payments will now be paid on uninvested cash, tracking BoE base rate. The interest rate has been set at 3.2%, so that implies the rate will be (BR - 2.05pp). However, that doesn't account for Big Exchange's own platform fees, which are 0.25%. So that takes you to 2.95% effective interest on cash at the moment and (BR - 2.3pp) going forwards.
I no longer check the forums as regularly as I used to. If you wish to catch my attention please remember to tag me (@ircE) so I get a notification.1 -

Just setup a 30p DD with https://www.30pence.co.uk/ ready for a switch and it seemed to go through OK - got a confirmation page but had no confirmation email.
Anyone set one up before - do you normally get an immediate email confirmation?0 -

I noticed it mentioned on on another thread, but for anyone topping up their Amazon balance by debit card to generate debit card spend, the minimum transaction amount is now £5 instead of the £1 is was previously.4

Thanks for that, PraiseTheSun. Do you know if that only applies to people setting up new top-up payments, or will there be a problem for people who have previously set up a monthly top up of less than £5 ?
