Best "bills" account that pays interest?

Thanks again for all the above.
I went with Nationwide in the end. On my sums for my particular scenario, Nationwide beat Zopa, which beat LHV, and they both thrashed Edge and Edge Up.
As a bonus I should be able to get the switching £175 if I do it right.
It'll be annoying to have to switch again in 1 year, but if they want to offer short term incentives on the assumption I won't be bothered to move at the end, then I'm happy to prove them wrong. 😉

Alternatively keep close to zero balance in the current account and move money from savings to pay any bills. I do that but it does need the discipline to check your account daily.
Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.2 -
If they do more in the future you should also be able to get the Fairer Share payment as well next year as they give everyone who meets a specific criteria a share of the profits.

Thanks both, yeah I'm hoping to qualify for Fairer Share if they do that next year. I think you need a qualifying savings product too, but we can probably make that work if you don't need too much in there.

I've just opened up and funded a regular saver towards the end of the year then a jump through a few hoops for the £100 each year - you then don't have the hassle of actually using Nationwide day to day.
