    Instant access rate from Kent Reliance is still 5.07%, same as when I opened it 6 months ago. Which is nice.

    Why do a lot of the Building Societies want £1,000 to open an account for?

    Economies of scale.

    Anyone else using Trading 212 for the 1.5% cashback on card payments, have you found a way to see all incoming & outgoing payments in one place? Card transactions, cashback earned, and payments in are all in different places, which makes budgeting a little difficult.
    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.

    I'm using it. The card tab (4th one) works ok for me. I'm not using the card for incoming payments.

    This was mentioned in the regular savers thread but I thought it could be worth a mention here, Progressive BS have opened up their Branch Instant Access Saver Account to all UK residents aged 16+, this can be opened/managed in branch or by post. If I'm not mistaken all of their accounts were previously limited to existing members and new customers living in Northern Ireland so it could be a good time to get a foot in the door so to speak.

    I've just phoned them and they're sending out an application pack to my address in England.
    Anyone noticed confirmation letters for the Progressive BS Branch Instant Access Saver Account thank us for supporting our local building society? Lol
    If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

  • I think their methodology looks at more than just how well they prioritise the climate... The best provider I've come across in terms of carbon footprint is Tred - they appear towards the middle of this list.

    That reads like it's referring to stuff that's already been posted, but it's far from obvious what you're actually replying to?

    I think GreenAdvocate might be a rather clumsy AI bot assigned to promote a bank based in Leeds.
