    I logged into the app today and had a message to say that the rate will be increasing to 3.75% on the esaver within the next 5 working days. 

    Thanks just signed in and its already showing on the account. Only hold a couple of thousand in there these days so doesnt really make much difference but at least theyve moved

    almost seems ironic, i live chat to them yesterday and was told they have no info on the esaver and today its gone up. might just end up leaving it there now and see what happens in a weeks time with interest rates

    Even though it's not the best rate, I'll take it. Saves getting my transaction blocked trying to transfer it out. :wink:

    Being cynical - this is a withdrawn account, which will only benefit a modest number of people, but it doesn’t do Santander any harm when they are under pressure to increase savings rates. 

    I’ll take it, even if it is fractionally less than Chase.

    And an ever decreasing number as their accounts reach the anniversary date, like mine will in a few months.

    Mine started in October, so it still has a few months to go....

    Moved my money out of Santander already.

    My mom getting her money moved has been stress but slowly getting there. Banks so careful with transactions but don't blame them.
