Apologies if I'm late to the party on this one, but is it common knowledge that Coventry now do same business-day withdrawals? Before today, all my previous withdrawals made from the Coventry were scheduled for the business day following the day I was making the request - e.g. open app on Monday to request a withdrawal and the withdrawal would be scheduled for Tuesday.

Now I see that they have updated the information on their website to say that if you make the request by 5pm on a working day, the withdrawal will go out the same working day. And indeed today I requested a withdrawal at about 10:45 and it was in the destination account by 14:00.

It can be late in the day though. I made a withdrawl about two weeks ago at about 14:30 and the funds didn't arrive until after 20:00.

Opening my Chase app this morning I was offered a 1.8% boosted savings account meaning 4.8% for 6 months.
Does seem a bit daft have to add a new account as now I have three savings accounts with them.

Thanks for that, just checked and I've got the offer too. You can easily close savings accounts within the app if you wish. Makes sense for me to shift my monthly spend back to Chase for next 6 months now.

I still have a Saver a/c though it's had a zero balance for a few months now.

I have been offered the boost, there is a 'get my boost' box on the Save and Invest page.

Realistically this is likely to become 4.55% on 15th May if the BoE base rate reduces.

Chase rewarding loyalty rather than solely new customers? What is this?!

Their coffers must be depleted with all the cash everyone took out because they messed up their 1% cashback. ‘Loyalty’…….haha, means nothing. 

Speculator

The 4.8% chase boosted saver makes all regular savers paying 4.8% or less obsolete for the next 6 months.

Not even sure it's worth paying into my Coventry Homesaver iss 1 just to gain an extra 0.05%.
