deposits allowed by DC! does the card have to be one registered on the account or can you add from various cards?soulsaver said:Family BS online svr 9 4.60% £100min (05/03)0 -
Various cards. I have the account and my nominated bank is HSBC but I make 3 x £500 deposits to satisfy the Halifax criteria and withdraw the funds straight after as no need to wait for clearing. Withdrawal cut off is 3pm so if I do it all before 3pm the funds are back with me the same day (usually late afternoon).pfpf said:

That was good timing for them to launch this, as it will replace my Gatehouse EA account later this month, due to Gatehouse dropping their interest rates.soulsaver said:Family BS online svr 9 4.60% £100min (05/03)0 -
Yes that's what I thought, I have the Cov BS 4AS at 4.85% but that hasn't been hit following the BoE rate cut, so this FBS one with full access will be useful as it's been introduced after the base rate cutStargunner said:

It's a Coventry BS 4.85% 4 access account that was on sale for around a week before it went NLA. Should it drop 0.25% after the next BOE meeting it will still be competitive and ahead of most others.Stargunner said:

Some on here might speculate that it could drop soon even if the next BOE meeting results in no change to the BR!pecunianonolet said:
