The New Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area

@soulsaver

I'm not sure if it's worthy of inclusion in the NLA list as not many will have it but one of the Tesco Internet Savers is paying 4.81%. That's a 1.25% standard rate plus a 3.56% fixed bonus. Was available 03/04/2024 - 13/05/2024

There's a decent chance it will outlive the Skipton BRT unless they reduce the standard rate which hasn't changed for over a year now (15/08/2023). They usually (though not always) just announce a new 'issue' with a reduced bonus

Fingers crossed

Thanks. I have that account. I've just opened the current offering of 4.56%, just  in case it becomes competitive on the way down.

Leeds Limited Issue Online rates for some of the NLA issues are still reasonable. I have issue 50 @5.1% reducing to 4.85% on 27/09/24. 

Thankfully I stopped the frequent upgrading of issues at 50, later ones particularly 60+ are at lower rates.

Update 22.00 09/09

Note - I've reworded the intention of the post as I didn't mean it to include available accounts that can be already found in the ToTP or moneyfacts listings. So:

What's the best rate EA(ish) NLA account that you (one) can still pay into?

(Slightly less) Immediate thoughts

Santander Edge            7.00 (£4k max x 2) if you 'refreshed' (extended) while 7.0 was still available  NLA.
Cahoot Simple svr Iss1/2  5.12 NLA
Cynergy iss 69   5.00 (inc bonus until Mar '25 -> 4.80% from 27/09 so now same as current iss 80 
Skipton Mber Bnus Svr Iss1 now 5.25% (inc.12mth bonus) £3k max  (existing mmbrs at 11/01/24) NLA
Post Office issues 69 - 72 4.80% to 4.95% inc bonus. NLA
Cov BS online triple          4.95 NLA
Skipton FA Bonus saver    4.95 NLA? 6 months from opening, earlies end mid Nov.
DF Capital is 5.1% (NLA) until the start of October  - dropping to 4.85%. NLA.
Leeds Limited (Iss 50)  5.10% down-> 4.85 27/09 NLA
Kent RBS Easy Access account issue 71 4.85% (NLA)
Skipton Base Rate Tracker Iss5 (Base rate minus 0.19) so 4.81% atm. NLA
Tesco Internet Saver from April/May NLA may still be paying 4.81% 



Edited OP to take out Barclays RDS and the current Santander Edge Svr as still available shown in the ToTP smaller accounts listing.

Off topic - sorry.

Correct. I have bookmarks just as you describe and they always take me to the last post I'd read, so an easy way to see if there are any new posts on a given thread.

Kent Reliance Interest Rate Reductions From 20/9/24:

Easy Access account issue 71 (NLA)- 4.85%- NO CHANGE
Easy Access account issue 70 (NLA)- Reduction to 4.71%

Various others are listed as reducing on 20/9/24 but KRBS doesn't seem to be showing the previous interest rates on their website and the last archive of their interest rates page is from May 2024 so I can't tell if any previously competitive accounts are reducing their rates from 20/9/24 without going back through the EA threads.
