Shawbrook - maturity option rates guaranteed?

May I ask those who've had experience with maturing Shawbrook fixed rate accounts (whether or not ISAs), if they selected an option 3 - 4 weeks prior maturity, is that rate guaranteed if the rate subsequently drops?

Thanks.

    IME yes, and it was stated in the pre-maturity communication I received that rates would be honoured.

    I haven't had a fixed term account with them mature for a while though, so I don't know their current stance.
  • Thanks for your reply.

    Unfortunately, on the correspondence I've got, it just states that rates are subject to change and that it may be different by the time a new account is applied for.

    This in itself could imply rates are held at the time of application, but it is unclear.



  • OP:  One thing to consider, if you don't make a decision they will place your matured savings in their Matured Savings Account paying 0.1%.  NOT good IMO.
