It's a good point keeping something open to retain "membership", I opted for the easy access saver with a £1 balance…

Has anyone received interest today? I was expecting it to be paid today, but alas no. Money will be moved out tomorrow, interest or not, as the rate plummets for me.

I closed mine today (via advance instruction) so had interest credited and then the full balance paid out today… I think my anniversary is tomorrow but I was notified that the rate would drop today, so I decided to close today and transferred the funds to a West Brom triple access (4.30% AER) - NLA…

Many thanks. Mine clearly states interest due today (2nd), and interest rate going down at midnight on 2nd. Never thought to close it in advance. See what happens tomorrow.

I closed mine this morning also; they were very quick to transfer the balance + interest to Nationwide, and it was then easy to log back in and download an Interest Certificate ready for Tax Return at end of year.

Thank you. Interest was in account this morning, so have closed the account earning an extra 1p. 😂 Hopefully will be winging it's way to my nominated account at some point today.

Hello,

I received a email about a week ago telling me about the rate drop on the 3rd(today)

Just looking online and my account is still showing 4.40% so does the rate drop at midnight tonight? or is it a case of skipton not open yet for business?

When the rate does drop l assume l can withdraw all funds from the account without issue?

Thank you.

my equivalent email said midnight on the 2nd, when I checked the balance this morning (3rd), the interest had been paid and the rate had dropped… I closed the account in the app (I have other accounts with them to maintain membership) and the balance should be with me today… therefore, just check the account again on Thursday and you should be able to withdraw / close without issue.

does any one know how long tesco take to open an account - I’ve applied for their internet saver and am already a customer so have login details and expected the account to show pretty quickly but nothing so far

Mine appear instantly (online). You can pay in immediately but not withdraw for a few days
