For those who will be effected in May and need access to their money for drip feeding etc without fixing for a year:
There's a couple of good(ish) savings rates Via Savings Apps at the moment:
Tandem : 4.9%
Secure Trust Bank - 4.98%
I'm keeping my eyes open for any banking APPs via trusted and secure UK banks that may pop up 
For those who love their Bank Switch deals, Santander also have a £185 Everyday Current Account Bank Switch Deal & you can get an additional £25 Cash back if you apply through Topcashback
