Just checking that you have to complete a new application and can’t add from the existing account? When I open will it appear next to the other account?Archerychick said:
Here you go, it’s listed below the simple saver on the savings page.

In my experience if you complete a new application the new account should show in your existing online banking before too long. I've had a few Cahoot accounts and this has been the case each time.Cobbler_tone said:

Agree with this - log out and back in again, that's when I've seen them appear.Bridlington1 said:

I thought you could only have one and one joint account overall. So is it per issue?allegro120 said:
You can double it if you open a joint account. I had 6 (2 per issue), now down to 5 (they only last for a year). Space for £9k at 5% and £6k at 4.75% - more than enough to feed my regular savers.Archerychick said:
I’ve just taken out a Cahoot sunny day saver which pays 4.75% on balances up to £3k, it’s a true instant ea. I then have the rest of my cash for monthly cash flow in another ea which isn’t instant, but currently paying the same interestAndyTh_2 said: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?1 -

Will I need to wait for actual paperwork before I can put the 3K into it?
Is it an unlimited withdrawal instant easy access account as the one I have with Gatehouse is slowwwwwwwww to withdraw back to nominated account?

Anyone else having problems with Chip? Withdrew some cash over an hour ago to Lloyds and it still hasn't arrived when it usually is instant?0

Yes you can, but you’ll need to wait for a physical letter when you open your first account before you have full online access. From then on, everything is pretty much instant.SickGroove said:
