I can't see how to access the boosted 4.75% on my existing Zopa account.  I've just transferred £500 in and back out incase that activiates it, but it hasn't.

You might need to update the app before the option to upgrade your account appears. I had to do that.

I also had to update my Zopa app on Android before the Jammie Dodger icon appeared bottom left on Savings!

Zopa - I had the same problem, couldn't see the opt in option for the 4.75%.  You may need to update the app - I did, then the option was apparent on either the home screen or the smart savings hub - can't remember which

Updating the app worked for me

Updating didn't work for me because the app was up to date.  I deleted and reinstalled the app, that worked.

Coventry BS 4 Access Saver - 1 Year 4.3% to be launched tomorrow

Just thought I'd do a spot of casual link guessing, Ts&Cs plus application link for this account can be found below:

It won't get 35 pages of chat, but that 4 Access is interesting arriving just as some Chase boosts will be expiring, not the highest rate, but with monthly interest and no hassle to open and operate.

Looks like Ulster is going to take a back seat now. How things drop out of favour quickly in this dynamic market, but I wonder who's going to be bold enough to launch a straight 5% without a balance restriction (Cahoot)

Yep, it is notable that savings rates on the way up again.

I imagine that most of those Chaser's with expiring boosts will be moving to Zopa @ 4.75%

IMO, it can't touch Zopa, which is easy to open, has truly instant deposits and withdrawals, unlimited number of withdrawals, and the top rate. Sure, it does require a min monthly deposit into the Zopa current account, but that can be automated, in and out.

Does the interest get paid monthly into the same account on the new Zopa 4.75% account?

Yes, the interest will be paid into 4.75% pot.
