From today's punch in the face / newsletter from Access Capital:
"We now expect to deliver the following interest in the 1st June payment for the Access Accounts:
• Quick Access Account – 4.1%
• 30 Day and 90 Day Access Accounts - 4.4%
...
For the time being, we are changing the published target rates on our Access Accounts as follows:
- QAA - 3.75%
- 30DAA - 4.00%
- 90DAA - 4.10%
"
I'm curious to know why there will be hardly any difference paid on the 90DAA versus the 30DAA or QAA?
Is this something AC are likely to continue on a long-term basis?
It doesn’t make any sense for lenders to have our money trapped for at least 90 days when the return is not meaningfully higher than those accounts with (hypothetically) much quicker access.
Is AC likely to increase the 90DAA rate from the 4.1% in the medium term i.e. towards the end of this year or beginning of 2021?
Cheers.

Probably because most of the money in the 90DAA across the platform is already in the withdrawal queue, so there is now no material difference between the different access accounts. Just put your entire 90DAA in the queue (like everyone else) and then before that long you can be in exactly the same position as everyone in the QAA, but getting a bit more interest while you wait for years to get your money.

The rates on offer, if sustainable, are outstanding compared to risk free rates on offer which are around 1% to 1.2%. A 100% premium would imply a rate of 2% to 2.4%. To get 3.7%+ is a damn good deal if you want income and have no immediate need to withdraw capital.
As all my risk investments (bonds, equity and p2p) have been made to generate income fluctuations in, or access to, capital are less important and to me. I have BS accounts for capital sums I may need for major expense items. If access to short term capital is important you should not be in any risk asset.
Which is not to absolve AC from incorrectly labeling its accounts as “access”

This would be consistent with my theory. If you have money in the QAA or 30DAA that you cannot withdraw (except at a dribble), you may as well move it to the 90DAA and put it in the withdrawal queue. You are largely in the same position but get a bit more interest. Edit: Especially if you leave some in the other accounts as you will get a double dribble (so to speak).

You're right of course but the figures are heavily rounded, i.e the 90DAA went from 77m to 78m a round million pound difference. But that large change of a £1million can be caused by an increase of just £100 or £10 or even a penny as that's the way rounding works.
However I tend to agree with you as the MLA figure increased by a million too a few days before (£113m to £114m), both these increases might be interest (refi's etc) being paid in, it will be informative to see if Lenders now try to withdraw this and the figure goes down to where they both were.

Yes you are right. I wrote that before I saw the change. Just getting up to speed!

Yes you are right. I wrote that before I saw the change. Just getting up to speed! This is why proper announcements from Assetz Capital and clarity on the capital repayment calcuation method being employed would be useful. stuartassetzcapital
So with nine access sub accounts each with £10K am I now better or worse of than with the flat-rate system?
Presumably impossible to know as system is now more opaque than a thousand vestal virgins veils.
However, if you personal expectation is that it will take longer than 90 days to return to 'Normal market conditions' than yes you might as well go into 90AA now.
Unless, (tin foil hat on), it's all just a cunning plan to get everyone locked in, before yet another rewriting / reinterpretation of the rules!

Unless I'm missing something, with the new interface, the transfer options from QAA to 30DAA and 30DAA to 90DAA no longer exist.
So whilst you can redirect queued withdrawals to another account, it will still only move at the current Glacial pace.

sorry. noob here. what do you mean? Until yesterday, if you had multiple access accounts all in the exit queue, when a distribution payment made you would have received one flat distribution payment per account. So, if you had a QAA, 30DAA and 90DAA accounts in both standard and IFISA form, you would receive 6 times the distribution payment. As of yesterday, you will now receive payments pro-rata according to the total amount in your accounts, so having money spread over multiple accounts is no longer an advantage.

Is it pro-rata to the amount in your account, or pro-rata to the amount requested to be withdrawn? Where there is a difference between the two, of course.
