Revolut 

4.5% var incl 1.5% boost for up to £20k until 31/07/26.

Deposits held with Clearbank.

Presumably looking to boost customer numbers and balance sheet ahead of their IPO.

I'd just be happy if they didn't keep bugging me with their ads every 5 minutes.

Nice account but not for me, it seems. Never mind, their loss, as I currently still have alternatives 

I'm having the same problem which doesn't inspire much confidence and 4.5% rate up until the end of July 26 with a drop to 3% afterwards. Fortunately, I too have alternatives that actually work!

I was getting this error earlier today but just tried again and opened the account.

Revolut 4.5% AER

Anyone know what the 'blended rate' above £20k is?

"Eligible customers who set up a personal Instant Access Savings account during this period will benefit from a boosted 4.50% AER (variable) until 31 July 2026. This rate will apply up to £20,000. For any amount over that, a blended rate will apply between the boosted rate and the applicable plan rate."

Where are you seeing that quote? It's not in the document you've linked to.

I think they probably meant 'tiered rate'. Summary box says:

Interest payable on balances* above £20,000 is payable according to your active Revolut subscription plan:

Standard Plan - 3.00% AER (variable)

Plus Plan - 3.00% AER (variable)

Premium Plan - 3.25% AER (variable)

Metal Plan - 3.51% AER (variable)

Ultra Plan - 4.00% AER (variable) on balances up to £200,000; 3.51% AER (variable) for balances above £200,000.

Has been available for ages with a fee. Looks like they just made it free. (probably temporarily). Whether its good compared to Chase comes down to the fact that it's not a tracker so they could keep it good or slash it to oblivion in 3 months.

Apologies, the quote was pulled from their main savings page

I normally go for everything that have a potential to be useful, but probably give this one a miss or wait until mid January and decide then.  As yourself, I have a selection of backups currently offering the same rate and above, so not desperate for more at the moment.  Also this offer applies to new savings customers only, so it's probably better to save this status for later if they have similar offers in future.
