Nottingham BS Bonus Access Saver 11 4.35% NLA, replaced by version at 4.05%

Family BS Market Tracker Saver confirmed reduction from 4.25% to 4.14% from 1/10/25

EDIT:

If I'm not mistaken this pulls Penrith BS Limited Access E-Saver Issue 2 at 4.21% into the top 10

Doesn't Cahoot have an app? When I search in Apple Store I get Santander and nothing in the ones following.

Just the regular Santander app - Login as normal with your Cahoot credentials.

However, you'll only be able to view accounts and not transact as using the Santander App generates a different OPT compared to Cahoot and they don't crossover.

I've been able to make transfers out of my Cahoot account via the Santander app.   It doesn't work for existing payees for some reason, unless you change the reference each time, then it works fine.

@soulsaver Chip Instant Access Account 4.80% - New customers earn a boosted 4.80% AER (variable tracker) for 3 months. Then 2.74% AER (variable tracker).

Anyone know what classes you as a new customer with Chip? Can you close an account, leave a gap and then reopen as a new customer?

As far as I remember you can't reopen Chip.

You can (I have done it) BUT they remember the offers you had on the closed account. Not sure whether they also remember if you use a different email address  - I used the same, and same name, address , linked account etc

Family BS are reducing their Online Saver (Issue 9) (NLA) from 4.60% to 4.35% on 24th September.

There is a message on the site that "many" of their variable rates will be changing on the 24th September - but i've only received an email about Issue 9 so far... i've enquired about Issue 10 (currently 4.55%) and awaiting a reply, but would expect that to reduce too - sadly.

I have received no email warning re: Online Saver Iss 9 rate reduction.

When I looked at the link above I could find no mention of Iss 9.

I had an account opened in Feb 2023, but had to close it (and deleted account) a few months later as my phone at that time couldn't support the app... installed, opened a new account same (same contact details, but different email address) today and I am getting the 4.8% rate on the account.

I return with good news - I received a reply to my secure message to Family BS at 7pm...

Thank you for your message

Interest on the online saver (10) account is not currently set to change.

You will still need to transfer £25,000 per day as per the terms and conditions. This is because it is classed as a withdrawal on the account  

so for those with Issue 10 @ 4.55%, the rate is not going to change imminently - for me, that means I can move the balance over from my Issue 9 before the date of rate change.
