General Discussion and Whimsical Banter

With the recent comments by Andrew Bailey, I think we can be pretty confident that there'll be a base rate cut on 7 August. It'll be interesting to see whether savings providers will "jump the gun" and cut their rates in advance of the meeting.

Monmouthshire BS have finally released their app at some point in the past few weeks: https://www.monbs.com/monbs-app/

It's a slight faff to set up compared to others as you have to "register" for the app to log in initially but didn't take me more than a few minutes. Looks very similar to the Bath BS app.

Right, come on Leeds, Ecology and Principality!!

I'm not so bothered about the apps as such, but it would be nice if Loughborough BS could come up an app, or at the very least online banking.

Online servicing is on the way, no app announced tho.

Can't pay in by debit card on the app sadly.

It was the West Brom agm last week. Held at the Black country museum. It's in my area and I had intended to go but missed it. Wished I hadn't now.

Members were warmly invited to explore the Black Country Living Museum in the afternoon.

I wonder whether any other society offers  'perks' at its agm

No longer the case but Youngs AGMs were good fun. Free beer until it ran out once the formal business was concluded. Any shareholder daft enough to try and ask a question was roundly booed for delaying the drinking.

BOE base rate cut from 4.25% to 4%.

4 voted for a cut to 4%, 4 voted to hold at 4.25%, 1 voted for a cut to 3.75%.

Voting is perhaps a sign that there won't be many rates cuts, if any, in the coming months
