BTW Charter use Barclays for their payments and they got the £1 that I sent from another bank today to open the account.

Tesco
I have their EA account. Made a withdrawal on the app at 01.10 this morning (31/1). It came with the speed of light, very impressive. But what is very odd is that the deduction from my Tesco account balance is showing as reduced yesterday (30/1). How can that be? 

Same here. Not sure why exactly.

Did you not see any of the earlier posts regarding the Barclays IT outage yesterday?

Their service status page and Twitter Help a/c suggests that there are still issues today. Despite being the 1st of the month, I’m holding fire moving money into certain RS accounts at present. 

I rolled the dice, and there were no issues with any of mine.

True EA accounts are easy access savings accounts which can be opened, and the headline rate earned, from a balance of just £1, and allow unlimited deposits and withdrawals. This table excludes accounts limited to smaller balances, paid-for/premium accounts and savings marketplaces. Instant True EA accounts are True EA accounts which advertise immediate deposit and withdrawal times 24/7. Highlighted entries show changes since last time: green for rate rises, red for rate falls, and blue for new entries to the respective table.

A fair bit of activity as Chip seems to be chasing ex-Chase savers, and UBL makes its debut on the scorecard.

Next MPC decision day is next Thursday 6th.

Chip isn't offering me a Instant True EA at 4.70%, I've got the limited withdrawal bonus Easy Access 4.75% one though. Is the Chip Instant Access the one (is 3.75% the one I've got open)? Would I be able to close it and open it again to get that rate?

Is the 4.7% a boosted rate for new customers perhaps? I can’t see it either. I can get 4.85% for limited withdrawal account, which I think is the other one you can see. 

As far as I know the boosted rate isn’t for new accounts it’s for new customers (e.g have never held a Chip account) so if you already have an account you wouldn’t qualify
