Interesting, neither a popup nor an email here either and nothing on twitter, MSE etc. Maybe somebody put the message out early then pulled it.

You don't need to do anything. The interest rate increase will be automatically applied to your account within the next five working days. There are no other changes to how your account works.

Santander monthly now starting to look like the ugly sister at 2.72%

Do you think this upset them

You only get the message if you login via the website, not the App.

"Some good news

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if we paid interest and added it to your account each year. The gross rate is the interest rate we pay where no income tax has been deducted. Rates may change and we pay interest each month."

Luckily I was too lazy to move it after the recent announcement from Marcus that they were increasing their interest to 3:00%!

[bmwmike]

Sweet move by Santander though. Happy with that. Hope vanguard follow suit.

[GT4P]

So that’s 3 instant saver accounts we now have at 3.25%
YBS, Coventry and now Santander. We do not close any because you never know which is going to raise rates further if at all

[darreni]

Thanks for the heads up.

[hyperblue]

Yep thanks, wouldn’t have noticed this as don’t get the message on the app, only when logging in to the website which I never use.

The money-moving merry-go-round begins again!

[darreni]

It is now showing on the app. It was on mine an hour or so ago.

[MrBen986]

Just had an email from Santander to confirm new rate.

I emptied it two days ago as thought they were never going to move the rate up!!

Santander have a reasonable selection of ISA's at the minute although the better rates are fixed term.

I've not had to look at ISA's for years with the combo of low interest rates and the personal savings allowance. The decent rates at present are making cash ISA's relevant again for me at least......

[Chainedtomato]

I opened a Coventry account yesterday ready to move everything out of Santander on the weekend, well that’s one less job to do now
