5% is better than many of us will have as our best available easy access rate.

I was about to ask the very same question…..very underwhelming!

Amount of maturing funds in October. I still have in the region of £1,000 with nowhere to go and don’t chase EA rates, so 5% is an improvement. Would have passed had withdrawals not been allowed, as I expect to empty it (and Darlington) into higher payers in the coming months. I also wouldn’t go to the faff of setting up with a new institution for it, but as I already had Mon BS app access, it took less than a minute to open.

No please wait screen this time, which either means they’ve improved the process or the 5% isn’t attracting many applicants.

I was contemplating to ignore it but as I have already more than pushed my luck with 5% easy access accounts and still have a little spare cash, I have opened and funded it. It will be worth an extra tenner in interest, enough for me to bother.

So that's £250 with somewhere to go. Where are you putting the rest?

I've got the thick end of £10k maturing later this month, think it's going into Oxbury 5.1% (good until Xmas) unless there's better?

I've been trying to cut down on the sub 6% RSs because simplicity, don't really want more.

Scottish BS RS Account matures 5 October. E-mail received 21 September with instructions to phone "by 02/10/2006". I am never sure if "by" means before the start or end of the day, but never mind "due to a colleague event all of our phone lines and relationship centres are closed today".

Going to be extracting funds from the resulting instant access account next week.

My thinking is exactly the same.

Any idea why you need to phone? Nominated account not set up?

My RS matured yesterday, xformed into EA, online (app) withdrawal request to nominated account (leaving a tenner) was actioned before midday.

It's easy access, so if you've used up everything else at 5% and above you might as well

Saffron EA if I have to (have Saffron, Skipton and Family BS Market Tracker) but will be open to further easy to open 5%+ RS through October. November I go back to 6% min.
