Charter reducing interest rate now

On 28 May [2020], Charter Savings Bank (the bank that provides your Savings Pot) will be reducing the interest rate on your Easy Access Savings Pot to 0.56% AER/Gross.

For me, this is the account I make monthly payments into for my Amazon Prime, so of little effect really.

Just waiting on Shawbrook now. Still showing at 1.15% at the moment, in-app.

Moving to Marcus, closure and withdrawal in the morning

Let’s see what happens but the rates alot better so I’m hoping GS hold it.

I wonder how much both the savings pots providers dropping their rates will have an impact on monzos % cut.

Marcus does seem like the only option atm

I do wonder if Marcus will drop below 1% soon

Has Investec made any announcement? I’ve just opened a pot with them at 0.93% in readiness for the Paragon rate going down.

Any lower than that and I think I’m gong to bite the bullet and open a Marcus account.

Marcus is also constantly dropping rates :frowning: . While they are offering the best on demand rate in the market, by a wide margin, if you’re ok to have your money locked up for several months, people should definitely checkout https://www.raisin.co.uk/

The following products specifically caught my eye as an alternative to Marcus, as long as you don’t need instant access to your money --> https://www.raisin.co.uk/savings-accounts/notice-accounts/
