18th April was Good Friday a non banking day and the start of a long weekend. Will explain why you haven't received any interest yet I'd suggest. 

Cahoot pays interest on none banking days, at least in my experience. I always receive interest on the date.

The account was opened on a non working day. 

Two of my Cahoot accounts were opened on Saturday 18th January. I received interest on 19th every month including Saturday 19th April.

This wasn't a long bank holiday weekend though. Offices do close on occasions.

In my understanding these processes are handled electronically, thus not affected by office hours. I doubt extended weekends would make any difference.

Cahoot uses Santander system. Openings, interest payment schedule, functionality of EA savings accounts and the awkward closure protocol seem to be the same.

I opened a Cahoot Sunny Day Saver issue 5 in April and funded it with £3000.00 at the time, choosing annual payment of interest.

Today I received an email saying I have a balance over £3000 , and the excess isn't earning interest.  On checking the account I do have a balance of exactly £3000, and showing annual payment of interest at 5%.

Seems a little odd.

There have been other posts today about this. Apparently a batch of these emails was sent out in error.
