Major bank to make big change to 47 accounts in weeks impacting thousands – do you need to act?
A MAJOR building society will make a big change to 47 savings accounts in weeks. Nationwide is slashing the rates on several of its savings accounts. 1 The moves comes after rate-setters on the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee cut the base rate from 4.5% to 4.25%. This was the fourth interest rate cut since 2020. The base rate is used by lenders to determine the interest rates offered to customers on savings and borrowing costs. A base rate cut can mean that mortgage rates are lowered, which is good news for homeowners. But it can mean that savers lose out as the interest they earn on savings will drop. As the base rate falls some lenders, including Nationwide, have chosen to lower the interest rates on some savings accounts. That includes its Triple Access Saver account which will see interest lowered from 1.95% AER to 1.80% come July 1. AER, or Annual Equivalent Rate, is used to show you what you could earn from a savings account over a year. Its Cash Child Trust Fund will also have its interest lowered. The rate will be lowered from 3.55% AER to 3.30% next month. NatWest to close 53 bank branches in fresh blow to UK high street – see if your local is affected Meanwhile, the interest on its Help To Buy ISA will be lowered from 2.90% to 2.70% You can take a look at the full list of account changes below If you are not happy with the change, it is always worth looking at other providers to see if you can get a better deal. Websites such as MoneyFacts share the best offers on the market for savings and other types of bank accounts. OTHER BANKING CHANGES Nationwide is not the only bank lowering the interest on some of its deals. is slashing the rates on 58 of its savings accounts. That includes its Five Access Saver which will have its interest rates lowered from 3.77% AER to 3.55% come June 27. Meanwhile, Vault customers will see interest rates on their account from 3.80% AER to 3.65% come June 26. The change will take place from June 23, but dates can vary from offer to offer. Online bank Monzo also lowerd the intertest on its Personal Instant Access Savings Pots from from 3.50% AER to 3.25% AER. SAVING ACCOUNT TYPES THERE are four types of savings accounts fixed, notice, easy access, and regular savers. Separately, there are ISAs or individual savings accounts which allow individuals to save up to £20,000 a year tax-free. But we've rounded up the main types of conventional savings accounts below. FIXED-RATE A fixed-rate savings account or fixed-rate bond offers some of the highest interest rates but comes at the cost of being unable to withdraw your cash within the agreed term. This means that your money is locked in, so even if interest rates increase you are unable to move your money and switch to a better account. Some providers give the option to withdraw, but it comes with a hefty fee. NOTICE Notice accounts offer slightly lower rates in exchange for more flexibility when accessing your cash. These accounts don't lock your cash away for as long as a typical fixed bond account. You'll need to give advance notice to your bank - up to 180 days in some cases - before you can make a withdrawal or you'll lose the interest. EASY-ACCESS An easy-access account does what it says on the tin and usually allows unlimited cash withdrawals. These accounts tend to offer lower returns, but they are a good option if you want the freedom to move your money without being charged a penalty fee. REGULAR SAVER These accounts pay some of the best returns as long as you pay in a set amount each month. You'll usually need to hold a current account with providers to access the best rates. However, if you have a lot of money to save, these accounts often come with monthly deposit limits.

M&S issues update for customers with gift vouchers after cyber attack
MARKS and Spencer has issued an update for customers with gift vouchers after its cyber attack. Customers have taken to social media to share their dissatisfaction with the retailer's latest update. 1 It comes as the ongoing chaos has left scores of M&S shoppers unable to use their gift vouchers. Yet the retail giant initially told customers they won't get extensions of the expiry dates on vouchers due to expire. One customer took to X, pleading: 'My vouchers expire at the end of this month but I can't use them. Can I have them extended?' But M&S responded: 'Unfortunately we're unable to extend vouchers.' They later appeared to soften, agreeing to "double check" on the customers behalf. Last month, shoppers also said they'd hit a brick wall. One couple revealed on the MoneySavingExpert forum that they've been saving up vouchers from their M&S credit card for months, only to be told they'd have to use them now or lose them entirely. The customer posted: 'We contacted M&S Customer Support which bluntly said that if we didn't use the vouchers by their expiry date then that was tough. 'The only option we have is to spend them on something we don't really need.' They added that M&S stores aren't even able to place orders, meaning customers can't just pop in and buy bigger items either. Even staff are reportedly unable to order stock, with fears some branches could start running out of essentials altogether. Some stores have even been stripped of staples like bananas and Colin the Caterpillar cakes, and popular meal deals were pulled in smaller branches An MSE forum ambassador said: 'Given the number of people this may affect, perhaps thousands as you suggest, I would expect M&S to extend the end date for these.' While another shopper fumed: 'The least they could do is extend the date.' M&S credit card reward vouchers are valid for 17 months, while shoppers with gift cards have 24 months from the last transaction to spend them. When The Sun contacted M&S, it advised affected customers to get in touch - but didn't confirm whether it would offer extensions on a case-by-case basis after all. A M&S spokesperson said: "The majority of M&S credit card customers redeem their reward vouchers in stores, and they can continue to do so. "If for any reason customers aren't able to redeem in store, and their vouchers are due to expire soon, we would ask them to get in touch with us so we can support them.' Meanwhile, the attack is still causing carnage across the business. M&S was forced to pull online orders, birthday perks were suspended, and Sparks offers were frozen. The store has now confirmed that some freebies, like birthday cookies, will still be honoured eventually. But when it comes to Rewards Vouchers — a perk many customers save up to use for larger purchases — the answer so far is a hard no. The cyber attack, which kicked off over Easter weekend, has been one of the worst to hit the high street in years. It has forced M&S to halt online orders and triggered widespread disruption, including a £300million blow to profits. Online shopping is still out of action and is expected to remain patchy until at least July, with fashion, home and beauty sales taking a battering. Timeline of the attack Saturday, April 19: Initial reports emerge on social media of problems with contactless payments and click-and-collect services at M&S stores across the UK. Customers experience difficulties collecting online purchases and returning items due to system issues. Monday, April 21: Problems with contactless payments and click-and-collect persist. M&S officially acknowledges the "cyber incident" in a statement to the London Stock Exchange. CEO Stuart Machin apologises for the disruption and confirms "minor, temporary changes" to store operations. M&S notifies the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and engages external cybersecurity experts. Tuesday, April 22: Disruptions continue. M&S takes further systems offline as part of "proactive management". Wednesday, April 23: Despite earlier claims of customer-facing systems returning to normal, M&S continues to adjust operations to maintain security. Contactless payments are initially restored, but other services, including click-and-collect, remain affected. Thursday, April 24: Contactless payments and click-and-collect services are still unavailable. Reports surface suggesting the attackers possibly gained access to data in February. Friday, April 25: M&S suspends all online and app orders in the UK and Ireland for clothing and food, although customers can still browse products. This decision leads to a 5% drop in M&S's share price. Monday, April 28: M&S is still unable to process online orders. Around 200 agency workers at the main distribution centre are told to stay home. Tuesday, April 29: Information suggests that the hacker group Scattered Spider is likely behind the attack. Shoppers spot empty shelves in selected stores. Tuesday, May 13: M&S revealed that some customer information has been stolen. Wednesday, May 21: The retailer said disruption from the attack is expected to continue through to July. Meanwhile, M&S isn't the only store facing cyber trouble. Co-op was forced to shut down part of its IT system after facing a hacking attempt last month. It confirmed that it had "taken proactive steps to keep our systems safe". It was later revealed that the personal data of a "significant number" of its 6.2million customers and former members had been stolen. The details included names, contact information, and dates of birth. However, the retailer assured customers that passwords, credit card details, and transaction information were not compromised. Full services resumed on May 14, following the .

Jamie Laing gives sweet message of support to best pal Sam Thompson during his 260-mile endurance challenge - after Made In Chelsea star's own gruelling charity marathon
surprised his close pal Sam Thompson with a motivational facetime call as he prepares for day four of his 260-mile endurance challenge. The I'm A Celeb star, 34, who is taking part in a Soccer Aid Challenge and has raised over £604,000 so far, received a sweet message of support from his former Made In Chelsea co-star. After suffering in his own gruelling charity marathon, Jamie, 36, knew exactly how Sam was feeling as he approached the half way mark. The BBC Radio 1 presenter had the whole nation behind him as he ran 30 miles for five consecutive days across the country in March, raising an incredible £2.3m. 'It's day three baby, it's the worst. It's the worst', Jamie laughed. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Sam screamed: 'I can't move man! My Leg!' Jamie said: 'Listen, I've been there. I know how hard it is and your body is screaming for you to give up. Every single moment, you just keep going. 'One foot in front of the other, you don't stop.' Sam teared up: 'Seeing your face just then has literally just made my day. I remember watching you doing your runs and being like your an inspiration man. 'The fact that you're just giving me your energy and your time man, I'm so grateful.' Jamie said: 'You're doing the best thing ever, you're doing it for the best cause. Let's keep going, I adore you, I love you, everyone's behind you, you're the greatest.' 'You got this Sam!', Jamie's wife Sophie Habboo cheered in the background. To complete the challenge, Sam is expected to run a marathon for five days and cycle in between, ensuring the ball arrives on June 6, just in time for kickoff on Sunday, June 15. Day three saw him set off from Villa Park, Birmingham and pass through Walsall, Cannock, Stafford and Stone on his way to Vale Park in Stoke-on-Trent. Pete Wicks hilariously parodied Sam's ex Zara McDermott 's famous 'you can!' moment from Made In Chelsea as he supported him on his challenge on Wednesday. Sam was surprised by Pete during the latest segment where he held up a sign and shouted to his pal. The 'you can!' refers to a now iconic Made In Chelsea scene where Zara begs for Sam back after cheating on him during her time on Celebrity X Factor in 2019. Zara and Sam then split for good earlier this year - with the former Love Island now moving on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. In a video shared on Pete and Sam's Staying Relevant podcast TikTok page Pete is seen screaming 'you can!' at Sam - sending him into fits of giggles on his bike. The sign read: 'You can do it... YOU CAAAN!' as Pete shouted it in the same tone that Zara had as she insisted that Sam could forgive her for her infidelities all those years ago. Earlier in the day Sam broke down in tears as pal Pete surprised him to mark half way of his 'intensely painful' challenge. Sam, who sustained a 'significant' injured his calf earlier in the week, threw his arms around his friend, 37, before telling MailOnline the reunion 'made his day'. As Pete strolled up, Sam became overwhelmed to see the friendly face amid day three of him cycling and running another whopping 49 miles. The TV star has been given the task to travel a mammoth 260-mile journey on both bike and foot to deliver the match ball to its new home in Old Trafford, with the hope of raising much-needed funds for Unicef. He told MailOnline: 'Seeing Pete half way made my day. The pain is so intense but this has put a smile on my face'. Before adding: 'Please donate if you can, I'm so grateful for all the support'. Before setting off on Monday, Pete shared a gushing tribute to his pal on Instagram writing: 'Tomorrow this man embarks on a mental and physical challenge for an amazing cause @Unicef.' 'Mate I couldn't be prouder of you as a friend, a brother and as a man. You are gonna push yourself to the limit and I can't wait to watch you complete this f**king mammoth task. 'I know how much work you've put in and I know you're doing it for the right reasons'. Before setting off on Monday, Pete shared a gushing tribute to his pal on Instagram writing: 'Tomorrow this man embarks on a mental and physical challenge for an amazing cause' He continued: 'Just so you know, you're doing it with every single one of your friends and family right behind you. I hope the nation follows your journey and helps you along the way in donations and support. You are an inspiration to me and many others and I admire the man you've become this year more than any other year I've known you. Good luck brother, you've got this' Still battling forwards with an injured calf and given the green light by the medical team, the reality star was determined to complete the challenge. He said: 'This is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I now have to accept that I've done damage to my calf and running is very difficult'. 'But I can and will carry on, not matter what, on two feet and two pedals, I'm still going to get there and get across the finish line on Friday. It's just going to be longer, harder but my reason for doing it still hasn't changed. I really hope people are digging deep for UNICEF, seeing what I'm trying to do and are getting behind this challenge.' Speaking about Sam's injury, on the road physio, Gary Lewin said: 'Sam has got a significant injury to his calf. We tried to take the weight off of it yesterday by giving him a bike day and in the afternoon he said it felt better, so we tried a bit of walking'. 'He can't put much weight on it. My advice today is we're going to start out with a walk today and then cycle and see how we get on. He's in safe hands and medical advice is he can continue'.
