    Could be worse: you could have the Five Access Saver which is dropping to 3.5%.

    I suspect the 1 year version did not get such a big cut because it only lasts a year.

    I had two 5 Access, ditched them a while ago.  Should've closed old 4 Access too, they are useless. I put it on my list to do for tomorrow. I'll keep the new 4 access for continuous membership because I don't have anything else in Coventry at the moment.

    Fair enough.  I would keep one of them in case it is better than anything else available when the 1 year account expires.  But I am not a fan of accounts with new providers I haven't dealt with before.

    Mansfield triple access bonus saver (issue 1) paying 4.25% AER variable (£1 minimum). Rate includes a bonus of 1% for 12 months. 3 withdrawals allowed only per calendar year (closure counts as a withdrawal)
    Postal application or in branch application only.

    WEST BROM

    Applied for the winter ready R/S earlier in the week and this morning received an email that my uploaded ID was insufficient and more was needed. This was closely followed by another email stating that the account was now open? Usual text about ready to feed by tomorrow. I’ll give it a go but not worried if it’s b*****d up as it’s only £100 for ten months anyway. 😳

    sorry, wrong thread.

    Hope it's not a stupid question 
    Just got access to my Cahoot Saving account (opened when the interest offered was 4.4%) - is it normal that the interest showed in the account is 4.31%? I assume they show the gross interest?
