Best savings account?

[Finners]

I deposited into my Santander account on the 4th Sept too, and haven't received the interest yet (and opted for monthly)

Same for me, first deposit went in on the 4th so assume interest will be paid tomorrow.

Anybody know how long Shawbrook take to open ISA accounts?

Was quick for me iirc, within a day

Best easy access ISA currently going?

Don't need the interest monthly.

Best easy access ISA currently going?

Don't need the interest monthly.

Currently Ulster Bank 5.2% easy access, £5000 min account balance, annual interest.

Edit: Read that wrong, this is best IASA.

Santander interest has now landed.

I saw it last night after midnight. I forgot who said before, it's the 1st Thursday of every month when it lands.

Santander haven't received anything, I deposited funds last month 12th September

 

[brightside229]

Put £10k in on 13th september, got £29.23 interest paid today on my santander. Coming from someone that has not had a savings account(never really had spare money to put in) i am quite shocked by how much that is paid.

You will have £50 next month. It's quite a handy sum! Enough to cover my internet and my mobile bill.

Does anyone know how long the deposit period is for the NS&I 1 year guaranteed bond?

I've got a bunch of money maturing in a few weeks which I'd like to invest in the bond but don't want to see the product get pulled before then.

Your math is wrong It'll be £42 next month on a £10k deposit

 

[uscool]

hopefully lands soon , was hoping to deposit more really liked Chips the way it showed interest given per day

 

[Maccy]

Not had my Santander interest yet, opened and deposted on the 5th September

£42 is still a lot more than i was expecting to get, literally had this money sat earning zero interest for over a year since i sold my car! But i do realise it would have been a lot less last year anyway since interest rates were pants

 

[ci_newman]

My Santander interest landed today too, a nice £67.

Although I noticed that Moneybox have released an easy-access cash ISA recently paying 5%. Tempted to get my wife to open that and dump the Santander savings into that instead.

I love interest especially now the rates have gone up to worth while rates. Got £40K in Tandem and got £166 in interest last month, can't beat free money. That's half my bills paid for the month and a few beers down the club.

My mate has a similar amount sat in his current account with zero interest, he's never had any other bank account in his life apart from his sole current account which was probably opened for him when he was still at school. Crazy.

Interest rates for savings has been bad for the whole of my adult life so I have never bothered to get a new savings account, besides the fact that i never really had savings.

Even £50 a month free money is nice, if anything, to offset the inflation.

Sometimes, I really really do not understand you

Unfortunately, the cost of your bills and your beer down the pub has likely gone up far more than 5% in the last few years
