Just got an email from Marcus today, rate is dropping to 1.2% relieved the didn’t drop to sub 1% (0.5% would be 10x base rate lol). Wonder if there are better rates still out there, will look later
I doubt you’ll find anything better for instant access accounts. There was Aldermore at 1.25%, but it’s not available any more.

Yeah same. I’m on 1.35% until June.
Was just about to open an account with them to gain 0.1% on my existing instant access account, glad I saw this and saved the time
That Monzo Plus 1.5% is looking nicer than ever right now…

Got my 1.20% notice email today. Two days behind some.
Will be on 1.30% until October still, thanks to a 0.10% bonus.
Wouldn’t bother chasing other accounts for the odd 0.10% anyway. Not worth my while.
My wife’s coop savings account got reduced to 0.1%! It wasn’t particularly high to start with but at that rate makes saving not worth the effort, so she’s going to close it as soon as lockdown is over.
0.1 is better than 0 but yes is pennies even over a year
God forbid you try to factor in inflation
So basically, it is slightly better than a regular Monzo pot 
Just opened Marcus around as my charter pot is being cut to 0.56%
Seems pretty good, only has a tenner until my savings post closure withdrawal is processed in the morning

You have another four weeks before the cut.
It’s 0.05% more so I’m not going to be out by doing it early
It’s so I don’t forget

Still, it wasn’t unexpected. Looks like I’ll be doing a bit of research at the end of the month, but dont’ think I’ll be moving elsewhere because all ships are sinking in a high tide anyway, and the ‘Easy Access’ part of the account will probably still be more important to me than a fraction of a percent extra interest elsewhere.

I think it’s still a very good rate so probs not
