Charter Easy Access Account. Just about to open but could someone advise, for the monthly option, when interest is paid. Is it a month after you open the a/c, end of the calender month or any other specific day?0

In my case I refreshed the Skipton Bonus Saver in April 2024 to push the interest payment into the next tax year so I'm clinging onto 4.75% for another month or so.wiseonesomeofthetime said:

Didn't realise that Hodge Bank have an easy access account (maybe it is new). It's not the best rate (4.29%) payable monthly but I opened one yesterday and was very impressed. Deposits and withdrawals were instant.
