GB Bank Easy Access Issue 2 Account 4.6%. £1k min to open but balance can be reduced to £1.There's a 21 day funding window, so if you choose annual interest and open the account after this Sunday (assuming its still available), you can push the interest into the 26/27 tax year.GB Bank use the NBS processing centre in Wallsend, so if you've got other accounts managed via them (e.g. Gatehouse), the setup and login process will feel very familar.7 -

If your withdrawal is authorised after the cut-off time, it will be received by your bank the following working day. Please note, we cannot be held responsible for any delays caused by circumstances beyond our control.you also need to wait for a letter in the post for a code to confirm your nominated account - no withdrawals before then... personally, this isn't one i'll be applying for.if speed is an issue, then the Hodge EA account is instant - definitely for deposits, haven't made a withdrawal yet, but previously stated that withdrawals are instant too... though rate at 4.29% is lower.1

In case it helps anyone i called Monument regarding the reduction in Interest rates on the instant access account. Firstly what great helpful customer service. I thought the minimum balance was £25k per account but was wrong its £25k across all accounts with them. I asked about the Limited Access Saver and they said the rates were currently 4.75% AER and no current plans for a reduction (although could change anytime).
I opened the Limited access saver and you can easily move money between accounts with them without going out to your nominated current account. Good clear app. So far i am very impressed with them4 -
When did the Virgin Defined Access savings rate drop to 4.06%? The last email I had from them in Nov last year said 4.51% but nothing since.0

The last email I had from them in Nov last year said 4.51% but nothing since.Which version are you referring to?The Virgin defined access e saver (issue 30) which has been available to open since 13th February pays 4.06% AER.The Virgin defined access e saver (issue 27) which is the account I have and was available to open between 2/10/2024 and 19/12/2024 is still paying 4.51% AER as far as I can see.Rates for old versions are here (choose 'previously offered', 'online' then 'E-saver')I came, I saw, I melted0
