but need better interest rates

Good interest rates, I currently have checking, savings. Setting up an online account will take you awhile. It will also test your patience, but once you get the feel for it you can make easily and fast all your transactions from their. Reviewed on: 20th November 2017

The math doesn't add up !!

I have a savings accounts with Barclays and I was just monitoring how they calculate interest. I tried to check the calculation and to my surprise it was not matching. When I tried in all the possible ways of calculating interest and it didn't match to what I was getting, I called customer care. I asked them to help me understand the calculation and I was told that the calculation is all correct because the rep was sitting somewhere is far east and had a pre-fed calculator to check the math. I requested to explain me the formula but he failed. Then I asked for a manager and when i spoke to the manager, I came to know that the 0.90% APY is actually not 0.90% APY its 0.888896% APY and that my calculation on the amount is right.
