As expected, reduction in the current account balance interest to 3%:
0.50% 
Double the drop in the BoE rate.

Widely expected to be another by the end of October - it annoys me that companies do this tho, should just track the base rate if that’s your intention; or shrink your notice period right down so you can just adjust in a timely fashion.

Anyone able to pin down what day Santander pay their bonus?
I know it’s 60 days plus 30 days max, but I’m sure it usually pays out about 56 days in following switch or similar.
Seems to be any working day between day 55 and day 59 - which is a bit odd as it says eligibility is checked on day 60, but there it is. Presumably if you don’t meet it at day 5x they check again at day 60, but I’m not sure.

The interest rate on the Santander Edge Up account will reduced from 3.5% to 3%.
It’s hardly something exclusive to high street banks.

Santander has made a few changes to part of their website. Seems they are introducing a new font, as well as a new style to some of their icons.
This style of font is used for headings throughout the entire Santander Edge page, but nowhere else on the website. I think it looks nice, but the updated “credit card” icon that came with this change looks pretty rubbish.
Older one (from Edge Up page)
New one
I wouldn’t have a clue what this was if it was just pasted on its own.

I could draw a better card and I am terrible at drawing.
I get what they are going for with the new fonts, new photos across the website, and the drawing style icons, but this one is terrible.

The older one did look a bit like a power pack.
I can kinda see that but it is also just what their credit card looks like (in a simplified form). It having the logos on it makes it much clearer it is their credit card.
It’s what it looks like in context for me. Many many logos would look weird in isolation but make sense in context.

Yeah, you aren’t wrong that no one is going to look at the image without the text so it doesn’t really matter. Still think they could have done a better job though. Could have done similar to the edge logo at the top and just have arrows pointing to it with a more realistic card.
Santander app down or is it just me? 
Edit: it’s back now.
With those visions, the guys in white coats will be coming to collect you shortly

Weirdly this is exactly what Santander asked me to draw. I hope everyone likes it.

Regarding the Santander Savings Prize Draw - "All customers holding an open personal current account and a personal savings account with a balance of £50 or
more on 31/08/2024 will be entered into the draw’.
I deposited £50 into the savings account today (31st August) and the balance is showing £50. But in the transactions list, that £50 is dated 1st September.
I’ve had a read of the terms, and am unlikely to win anyway as it is only 1 prize, but can’t determine whether I’d count as eligible or not. Does anyone know please?
Thanks
I doubt there’s really any way you can absolutely know, unless you can get Santander to confirm you are/were part of the draw. To be honest I wouldn’t have much confidence I’d get a definitive answer if I asked CS such a question - it’s probably as opaque to them as it is to you.
Put it out of your mind, it isn’t going to happen either way

I’ve just noticed a small inconsistency in the Santander app and I’m now wondering if other banks work the same way.
Debit card transactions are listed under the day they are cleared and you can tap into them to find the day the transaction was made.
Credit card transactions are the other way around - they are listed under the day they were made and you tap into them to see the day they were made (and also the location).
