@soulsaver Family BS Online Saver (11) 4.52% is now NLA to new customers.

I did manage to open an account today as an existing customer, but I don't know how long that will be possible for.

Atom Instant Saver Reward ~ Rate reduction received. Information in the App only at the moment.
Date of change 31 July 2025

Current Rates are 4.75% AER / 4.66% Gross
New Rates are 4.60%AER / 4.51% Gross

Withdrawal Rates remain at 2.50% AER / 2.47% Gross

They did put it UP from 4.60% to 4.75% in March at a time when interest rates were falling (admittedly having cut it from 4.85% the previous month).

I have their Online Saver 9.  It’s still paying 4.6%. I’ve been waiting for a cut the past few weeks but nothing so far.

Hi, looking at Cahoot to put some money in, can someone tell me what the withdrawals are like? Is it instant, or does it take a while?

Instant….all Faster Payments.

Sounds like Cahoot is now the best place for savings if Atom is paying just 0.05% more for restricted withdrawals.

Snoop is paying 4.6%, but it's not as convenient.  Withdrawals and deposits aren't instant and you can't make payments to other savings accounts directly from Snoop.

I can tell you that the process for closing a Cahoot account is bizzare!.

They will only close an account if you first withdraw the current balance leaving zero showing.

Then you have to phone them (in Ireland!) and ask to close the account - at which point any accrued interest is added in and transferred to your linked account. Duh!
