Very welcome indeed!
'We're excited to announce our first ever rate rise across our Access Accounts!
This rate increase which takes effect from 1st May 2018 until further notice, will take target gross interest rates for the Quick Access Account and 30-Day Access Account from 3.75% to 4.1% and 4.25% to 5.1% respectively.*

Makes the GBBA and Property accounts hardly seem worthwhile for the little extra interest.

This is brilliant news! Thanks very much AC. It now brings the 30DAA rate much closer to Growth Street, but without the cash drag.

Great news!
At the same time AC seem to have dropped the information how much is currently invested in the QAA/30DAA which was quite useful to get some further comfort on top of the information of the "time to withdraw" in case of the QAA.

Why the reduction in transparency chris - what is the genius rationale behind removing a critical piece of data with no notice and apparent reason. couples with a HUGE rate change? Should we be worried about your liquidity in the access accounts?!

The 30DAA rate is currently higher than RS 5 year rate! And it is much more flexible product than RS 5year. Also it doesn't require time consuming maintenance.

AC must be feeling the need to incentivize investment, whether to maintain or increase the current levels.

My inquisitive nature makes me think why? After all Assetz (i believe) are not a profit making enterprise yet. I like ti think it is a marketing coup based on present weaknesses/ weak management on other platforms but there are of course other theories  |

I like ti think it is a marketing coup based on present weaknesses/ weak management on other platforms but there are of course other theories I believe AC has been returning a profit for a while now. I think the reason they have done this is because they have a very strong pipeline at the moment and they want to make sure they can fill the loans. They have recently started using their underwriters again for this very reason. Removing the total invested amounts though is a massive backwards step. I can't think of a good reason why they would do this. Reducing transparency is a huge backwards step for a platform that has always tried to keep it at the forefront.

Therein no doubt lies the answer as to why Assetz decided to stop displaying the total. Less experienced lenders not fully understanding the function of these funds may get concerned when the total value drops significantly.

When the QAA is used to underwrite a loan the funds still remain in the QAA......it just means the QAA holds the loan units of the loan in question. The QAA balance doesn't shift.
