When I opened the account I had opted to make the first lodgement by SO. The call centre guy told me that the rate on my account was only 2.5% as their had been no initial lodgement, but that if I now lodged an amount by post or in a branch between 10 and 750, they could correct and backdate the interest to 7% from my first lodgement!! The rate from February is only 4% however!

Am going to get my backdated interest, then either reduce my monthly lodgement to the min or close the account (depends on the penalties!!)

If anyone is in doubt about their own accounts, I suggest you give them a call
