The New Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area

Is there any update on Marcus, I still have the account which I believe is 4.3%.  Feels like the rest of the pack have been moving backwards so they must be moving upwards.

no change yet - it's been at 4.3% for the last 6 months.

I just tried to open an easy access with Charter Savings Bank (as a new customer) but after selecting "apply now" was told the account was no longer available (issue 56). It's still up on the website though

I have never received any notification about change of rates since I opened the account in August 2024. 

As such, my records still show it at 4.35% (well-outdated)

It looks like that's just relative to various versions though.  I've just logged on an mine's (no issue number against it so I guess it must be version 1) still showing 4.71% and the updated rates show the changes were effective from yesterday (so presumably mine would show 4.52% if it had been reduced).

i'm in a similar boat - I have what must be "Issue 1" (though none of their docs mentions issues AFAIK).. originally, it was 4.86%, then on 2nd December I got 14 days notice that it was dropping to 4.71% - it is still at that rate currently and assume it will remain so until I receive notification from Chetwood of a rate reduction.

update - just received an email from them...

We’re getting in touch to let you know that we’ve taken the difficult decision to reduce the interest rate payable on your Easy Access savings account.
From 27 February 2025, your new rate of interest will be 4.52% AER* variable.
Your current rate of interest is 4.71% AER* variable.

so I assume we'll all be in the same boat, receiving the same rate, after the 27th !
