    It could be because you need to hold a current account with them ?

    Unusual to not at least get a special mention, even if that's the case.

    Possibly also because unless you have a certain amount (£5k IIRC) it earns a lesser rate of interest.  It is sometimes included in other savings tables from MSE but maybe those peculiarities rule it out of the easy access one?
  • Many have been put of by negative reports concerning Ulster Bank. The loyalty saver used to be available without a current account, and was difficult to operate in isolation.

    Today and 23-04-24 the loyalty saver wasn't showing transfers out as a option you could only excess payment out to current account then onward tranfer to a payee
