Santander 123 Account Rate cute!

Just seen this on the BBC- It appears that they are halving there rates!

"Santander is halving the rate on its hugely popular 123 high interest current account, in a move that will hit more than 500,000 savers, reports The Daily Telegraph.

The rate will be cut from 3% to 1.5% on 1 November.

The account - adverts for which have featured the likes of Jessica Ennis-Hill, Jenson Button, Rory McIlroy and Lewis Hamilton - is hugely popular and has signed up hundreds of thousands of customers since its launch four years ago."

Me and the wife recently opened a 123 account based on the good advice on here. So the bank rate drops 0.25% and they cut 1.5% off their rate!

Sadly I feel the same. Some people said it was only a short term blip. The $ exchange rate is now a low 1.27 and the € rate 1.13. Not sure how long this short term blip will last for.

There has been much talk about the rate cutting but I don't think anyone thought it would go from 3 down to 1.5 a very large drop indeed!
Especially with the £5 monthly fee!

This was going to happen. It had better interest than most savings accounts and was good while it lasted.

You do have at least 60 days before it comes into force!
So it may be slightly longer

I changed over to Santander in March and have been delighted with the amount of interest I have earned compared with my old Lloyds account so am very disappointed to hear about this massive drop in interest rates, will have to shop around again.
