There ought to be a published set of rules about making malicious allegations though.

There is, it's called the Defamation Act 2013.

Family BS launched today Online Saver issue (10) paying 4.55% p.a. variable.

https://www.familybuildingsociety.co.uk/savings/easy-access-savings/product-detail/online-saver-(10)

Do we know if previous issues reduce in rate? E.g. issue 9 was 4.6% when launched and not been able to find any announcements yet.

West Brom 4 access saver (issue 2): The interest rate where 5 or more withdrawals are made is reducing from 2.15% AER to 1.9% AER from 16th June 2025. That suggests to me that the rate where less than 5 withdrawals have been made will remain at 4.65% AER after 16th June 2025 as no mention is made of that. Given that the rate went up to 4.65% AER after the interest rate cut it seemed likely in any case that the rate wouldn't immediately decrease.

Any idea why it doesn't appear in the MSE Top Picks list?

MSE's top tables don't update as regularly as some of the other comparison sites. Personally, I use Moneyfactscompare as it's usually more up-to-date and (once you've re-ordered the results in terms of 'Rate'), it gives a simple list in rate order. That West Brom account is currently 5th on their list.

Hmmm - So Family BS recently appeared in the Top Picks list offering 4.55%, yet West Brom offering 4.65% is still not mentioned? Seems very fishy to me. Wouldn't surprise me if there were some backhanders going on. Shawshank Redemption and The Post Office spring to mind.

West Brom 4.65% appearing with that link for me.

Maybe the lizard people saw that you were on to them and backed off?

Family BS - that issue 10 might not be on offer for very long.

Are they known for pulling products within a day of release?

are we expecting atom or chip to decrease the rate soon?
I want to move something from Monument (where I had a 60 days notice account) to perhaps one of the 2 mentions above, but don't want to go through all the hassle if we are expecting reductions in the next couple of weeks?

Anyone know when debit card payments into Family BS start earning interest?

I normally use Skipton and they start paying interest for debit card payments from the third working day.

I might delay paying into Family BS by debit card until after the Bank Holiday if they also pay interest from the 3rd working day.

How come the 4.55% Family BS doesn't make it to your top 10 list?

Because no one name dropped it, and I didn't see it. 
It's there now, thanks...

@soulsaver

Further to the above Saffron announced a series of rate cuts a couple of days back, it was mentioned on this thread a couple of days ago but I also forgot to mention you in that post.
