    Guessing Atom is still the best to go with at the minute?
    I’ve just opened a Chase savings account paying 5.0% (variable) for 12 months.  Check out top of the easy savers thread, it’s number 1.

    5% (v) for newbies, otherwise it's a boosted 6 month 4.55% (v) for anyone who has already had an account with Chase, making Atom more appealing, unless you intend to withdraw.

    Can anyone confirm when Cahoot is paying interest? I have the sunny day saver at 5%, opened on 2nd May but only started to use the account from early June. I just checked and can't see any interest payment. Will it be paid today but only becomes visible tomorrow morning?

    I can't remember anymore if I selected monthly or annual interest when I opened the account. In the portal it shows 4.89%, which would indicate monthly interest.

    My Sunny is annual, but my monthly Simple Saver shows interest the day after: 

    27/05/2025 opened,  28/06/2025 INTEREST PAID

    It should be paid tomorrow i think.
    I opened Sunny day on 28/5, interest payment on 29/6
    Yes 4.89% would be monthly interest option

    Your interest should be paid tomorrow.

    Issue 2 is showing online at same interest rate - can’t see the difference beyond the issue number and presumably the maturity date?
