Thanks.
Time to find a new home.
So if I withdraw every last penny, open a Bonus Saver or Pathway account and re-lodge the money would that work?
Ok, I have closed plus and have now pathway.
One thing to note is that the interest is paid annually and not monthly as with the plus account.
So my plan is to close this account after six months, or indeed earlier if better rates with suitable institutions become available as the rate drops by 1% after such time.
Well I presume the point of this is to stop everybody on a lower rate product with UB, such as esavings plus, from switching over to the higher rates of Pathway and Bonus Saver. They should be looking after their existing customers rather than setting up juicy rates for new ones.When trying to set up my new pathway account was told I had to move my money out of UB and then transfer in back in. I thought this was all too much hassle.
