Yes you trigger the transfer process. Which is almost always from the new provider, give them the info of your old provider and they do it for you.
Expect it to take around a month however.
It really depends on the new provider
- Who they are,
- What rate they are currently on
- Are they sticking with that rate
- Do they offer withdrawals without penalties (IE are they flexible)
- Do they pay interest monthly
these are some of the things I am currently looking for in my package, at the moment
If its a case of im only going to be say £8 down on interest every month, going from say 5.08% to 4.80%, im not really sure if its worth moving for someone who cannot provide the above for me
If someone can provide the above and say can provide a rate of 5.1% - 5.2% then it maybe worth moving.
EVen if a provider advertises a rate adjustment, dont they have to give an 8 week notice period before any changes take place?
this is what i got:What email did you get ? What did it say ? iv not received any email from Zopa, My interest is still showing as 5.08%
When did you open an account with them ?
this is what i got:
Access ISA pots: from 19 August 2024, the new rate will be 4.80% AER* variable (4.69% gross**). This includes a 0.5% AER*/gross** fixed bonus rate which has not changed. The current rate is 5.08% AER* variable (4.96% gross**)
Strange. Although mine is showing 2 different pay in targets for the cashback.Still showing Nov 4th here.
To reflect recent changes, on 20 August 2024, we’ll lower the interest rate for Personal and Joint Instant Access Savings Pots and Instant Access Cash ISAs from 4.10% AER (variable) to 3.85% AER (variable). |

Virgin 10% fixed for 12 months
It's free money at the end of the day, only work on your part is to tell them you want to move it. Seems like an easy way to earn £100ish.Is anyone thinking of leaving zopa then? It's a bit of a faff for approx £8 per month. Is there any providers that are going to stick to 5% plus rates ?
How likely is it they will increase again?
Maybe in half a year it would have been alright for me to fix but it's not worth it now. Plus fixing is not flexible and they don't pay interest monthly I believe

DamnGood for existing customers.
How much do you earn?
You can make £8 a month with a premium bank acc (over 100k/year).IN what respect? earn from what? savings interest? or work ?
Savings interest through my ISA im getting about £153 per month in interest whilst on the 5.08% rate currently
Work, I dont usually disclose this, but i am a higher rate tax payer
You can make £8 a month with a premium bank acc (over 100k/year)
It isn't interest AFAIKYeh i can sign up for a premium bank account. Although with my PSA (personal savings allowance) I am limited to £500 interest earnings per year before paying tax. It will fill the gap i guess.
I am not really worried about the drop to 4.80% on the ISA. It can be made back up again i guess.
