Lower rate at Cheshire BS so u arent comparing like for like are u ?

Also Cheshire BS dont pay interest on cheque deposits until the 4th day following receipt which reduces your interest further compared with most other savings providers.

I had a similar experience as you @ Bradford and Bingley on 7th April.

What about the 2-4-6 rule? interest payable from 2nd day after receipt! is this not now industry standard?
