    I'm very impressed on how quick Principality is reacting now.
    I remember when rates were going up, it took them about a month or so to decide the increase on the variable rate accounts...

    Skipton Home Deposit Saver (Issue 3) at 4.56% is now NLA and has been replaced by Issue 4 at 4.31%. Issue 4's interest rate is too low for the account to be included on the first page of this thread.

    Thresholds for accounts to be included on the first page of this thread remain under review and may be altered depending how the savings landscape evolves following the base rate cut yesterday.

    Additionally these cuts were a late response to the February cut to the base rate, rather than the May one. For the full list of interest rate cuts announced by Nationwide see:
