Not overly suprised, the 123 account was good for santander to grab customers and a lot of customers like me have 3 between me and partner so doubt very little money to be made from it for them.

Looks like LLyods is next one to go with rate cut to 2%.

Sigh. I thought this was coming but hoped for 3% not 2%. At this rate it becomes cheaper for me to actually pay off my mortgage than have cash in the bank! P2p companies are going to get a raft more customers, especially if the suggested ISA comes along in Q1 next year. Brexit impact continues...  |

Nothing to do with Brexit but a consequence of going on for 8 years of mismanagement by the BoE and other central banks.  |

Nothing to do with Brexit but a consequence of going on for 8 years of mismanagement by the BoE and other central banks. Regardless of anyone's politics on this, that seems rather a strong assertion given that Brexit was clearly the direct cause of a base rate cut as well as a host of negative economic forecasts. Surely that has had at least some bearing on the recent cuts? This said, agree that banking in general still seems to be in a total mess. John Kay's 'other people's money' highlights this well, and the recent DB shenanigans are just the most recent symptom.

Eventually the "challenger banks" had to realise that bribing people to open accounts with them was a losing game.

If they cut the monthly savers to I guess when they do the rate cuts if I leave it where it is will lose about £1500 a year pre tax on the Santander, Llyods and TSB accounts.
