As a relatively new customer, I am quite impressed with Oxbury. A very straightforward app/website and very quick to execute instructions/transfers etc.

That's a bit of a blow, considering last time they reduced from 5.2 to 4.75.Bridlington1 said:

Got Coventry Triple access @ 4.95 but that's likely to drop to 4.7% if they do as they did last time the base rate dropped.0 -
I'm kind of glad I still have the Cahoot Simple Saver issue 4, since it's still at 4.85% and they need to give at least 60 days notice of any rate reductions (and they haven't announced any change to it yet), so will be at that rate til at least early/mid January.4
