    They don't share my definition of competitive ;)
    Depends though, if it was a mortgage it would be rather competitive rate, for a regular saver it'd need to nudge up another 1.35% before I'd add it to the first page of this thread.

    Still competitive when compared with savings rates available from other Building Societies with branches on The Square, Market Harborough. *

    * Probably.

    Logged in an hour or so ago to redistribute proceeds from a matured Loyalty RS and was able to get same day to Sunny Day Saver but tomorrow to nominated account. Will make sure I request in the morning when Sunny Day comes out - afternoon cut off perhaps?

    Only for internal transfers in my experience, if ever I've sent money to a nominated account it has arrived the next working day.
