General Discussion and Whimsical Banter

Like inflation, we will all have out personal rate of taxation, which can be added it up from all manner of things. I'm struggling to think of a scenario where someone would be better off in real terms under the coming tax regime.

iFast Global Bank - never heard of these guys before, but I've just spotted them on Moneyfacts, offering 4.25% instant access savings accounts in GBP and lower rates in other currencies. They seem to be a savings and transfer payments subsidiary of a Singapore-based wealth management firm.

Could that be an option to get USD out of Paypal without their crazy exchange rates?

No idea I'm afraid, I don't do anything in other currencies!

Is anyone else having problems logging into Principality's website? Across two browsers their website is failing to load for me...

Principality is working fine for me, I've just logged in and viewed my accounts without any issues, have you any ad blockers at all?, I've found these can sometimes cause issues with some banks.

It wasn't my adblockers, but that comment made me realise it was my VPN. Cheers.

Sainsbury's Bank - Bonus Websaver offering 4.5% on balances up to £500,000. Looks like instant access as well?

Well definitely seems like rates will start to gradually move downwards but at the moment I can sort of settle for getting a rate above inflation.  I know it won’t make up for the months when it’s been behind but have to grab hold of small gains when you can

For small gains try the Principality 6% in the headlines today, for a max of £50 a month !!!!
