    I remember reading an article about this, and believe that it was technical issues with Barclaycard, and was not only Chase but several other of the fintech banks.
    I've had no problems with Chase over the past few years, albeit am not using the saver account at the moment, as can't get the boosted rate. However, if they give existing customers a good rate, I'd be back using it in a flash. I do still use the current account.

    Was that Chase to Barclaycard problem not specifically about a balance transfer from a Chase credit card to a Barclaycard CC rather than simple payments?

    Or are all payments effected?

    Account is up and running.

    Gott the referral bonus too, instantly paid in which was good.

    Will probably look at doing the switching service, once this months interest has gone into the 123 account - it's usually around the 25th of the month.

    Yeah I get that, but with the boosted rate, even if it dropped by 1% it'd still be 3.5% as opposed to the 2% on the 123 Account.

    Will see what appears this time next year when the bonus rate goes.
