OXBURY BANK SPECIAL EDITION EASY ACCESS - 5.04%

Saw this after checking  Oxbury today.

This account is distinct from their Limited Edition easy access ( which I have ) currently paying 5.02%.  Seems I would need to migrate over to the Special Edition account if I really want the extra 0.02% of interest.

Oxbury Bank Android app. I've been updated to the new version 2.0.0 and it fails to load correctly. Has anybody else had difficulties? Obviously I can't logon to use the app chat and more worryingly they say you can also select webchat on the FAQ page but that doesn't exist and sends you round in a loop. So the only option that I'm not happy about is to email them. I will try the email in the morning and let you know how fast it is to resolve. Correction.. I've found the webchat option disguised as a "?" button which is a lot less conspicuous than the contact us button I was pressing.

That's odd - the latest version of the app is 1.4.4 on my Pixel 7 Pro running Android 14 (with no app updates currently available) and it's currently working fine.

Very odd, the latest version available from the Play Store on my two phones is 2.0.0. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hampshire Trust Bank 
Easy access issue 24. 4.9% AER

https://www.htb.co.uk/personal-savings/variable-rate-accounts

HTB Easy Access (Issue 15) (NLA) - rate is changing from 5.15% to 4.90% AER on 22nd August.

On 23 August as I read it:
As an existing customer, we will keep your current rate of 5.15% AER gross variable until 22 August 2024. After this date, the rate on your account will be reduced to 4.90% AER gross variable.

Have you received an email as I can’t find it on their website? I hold this account but haven’t received any notification about this.

I received it on Tuesday.. (adjusted date on previous post to 23rd August). 

Dear  Thank you for saving with Hampshire Trust Bank. We recently decreased the rate on our Easy Access Account for new customers to 4.90% AER gross variable. As an existing customer, we will keep your current rate of 5.15% AER gross variable until 22 August 2024. After this date, the rate on your account will be reduced to 4.90% AER gross variable. We don't make these decisions lightly and we consider a lot of factors before we reduce the rates on our accounts. These include the way we lend, the interest rates offered by competitors and the Bank of England base rate. Your account is a variable rate and, as a reminder, you can reinvest into any of our other accounts easily through our portal or close your account at any time without penalty - simply get in touch. To find out more information about our rates, please visit htb.co.uk/personal-savings.

We've also sent a reminder into My Documents when you're logged into our online portal.  Yours sincerely,

Stuart Hulme Managing Director, Savings

mine got updated in the background yesterday to v2.0.0 (4179) - using Android 10... for me, it seems to be working fine.

I got an email about the v2 update on the 18th - the main reason to update is that this Android version will work more like the Apple version and allow you to see balances, move money etc and not just use it as a login authenticator.

the email does contain a telephone number if you need assistance - did you get the email?

We’re happy to share with you that Oxbury Savings Accounts will soon be added to our Android mobile app.

We will be releasing this update over the next few days. Using the updated Oxbury app you will be able to manage your Oxbury Savings Accounts, including viewing your balances, transactions and statements and moving money between savings accounts. You will need to update the app to version 2.0 within the Google Play Store to access these new features, which will not affect the current authenticator functionality. Thank you for being an Oxbury customer. Oxbury Bank

Thanks that's great. I did get the email and never thought it would have a phone number. Now I know it's probably me I'll give them a call. I was wondering if there would be a swell of complaints and another sneaky update 😁

I'm on V2 but it still only works as an authenticator. no other functionality on Android 14
