The issue seems to be fixed now.

Yes, I was able to open a account with them. Has anyone used United Bank UK? They seems to be offering good rates for easy access account.

Doesn't inspire confidence, does it? It is a competitive rate, though, especially for a business savings account.

No it doesn't. It shouldn't be hard to fix a simple issue like this. When I tried to report the problem, they wanted my IP address even though they were aware of the problem.

I called them today to report the problem. They were aware of the problem. Hopefully they will resolve it soon.

Session timeout errors for me too.

That's what I thought too but their online application system seems to be having problems. Getting session timeout errors.

With most of the providers you can only open an account via post which is annoying.

Really annoying this postal thing when you are trying to keep half a million quid safe :

Yes it's annoying since everything is done online now. Banks could reduce their overhead switching to online system.

Do you have to have instant access or could you survive if you locked the money away for 12 or 24 months (maybe longer)? Better rates to be had if you can either give notice to withdraw or not touch it at all for a while.

I have already have fixed accounts with Nationwide and Aldermore. I just want to keep some in easy access in case any investment opportunity comes along.

Actually kentalliance is easier to apply to (online vs postal with Cambridge & Counties ).


Hmmm..

C&C are definitely good, IMO. No experience with Kent Reliance, but that's a good rate in the current climate, I agree (assuming it's easy access or isn't tied up too long).

Cambridge & Counties Bank looks good, think I'll go with them (+ Aldermore)

[jmann]

I am looking to spread it across multiple banks too. Has anyone used kentreliance.co.uk? They are offering 0.90% for easy access account which is not bad.
