Family BS Market Tracker Saver 4.50% £500 min slipping to 4.32% from 1/4/25

The minimum opening amount and ongoing balance has recently been reduced to £1.

I opened mine when it was £500 and was able to withdraw £499 a few days ago.

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?

Monthly after the day you first deposit.

My Members Bonus Saver (NLA) had already nose-dived to 3.30% due to end of bonus period, so has been ditched now.

That will become 3.05% post-bonus wef tomorrow.

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.

For the first time in a long while I have no active YBS accounts, just an old Internet Saver Plus Issue 11 sitting with a £1 in the hope that a worthwhile loyalty product might again appear sometime soon.

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. 

Easy Access - Hodge Bank

Maybe this is one for the Instant True Easy Access Table @ircE

That's a shame. I was just about to get into the 'Family way'.
