Years ago, my internet bank of choice was Egg.
High interest rates on savings, and then later I did an offset mortgage with
them. But Cahoot later gave much better
rates, so I moved most of my banking over there. Now my mortgage has shifted to
Intelligent Finance, so I wanted to move some
of my money in my offset account from Egg to If. But going in on Sunday morning,
I discovered none of my accounts were accessible. Well, it was the weekend and a
one-off thing, I figured. But just now I tried to access my accounts, and I
can’t log in at all. No one can:

Monday at 8pm, and I can’t access my accounts? That’s like prime time for
internet banking. Can’t say I’m sorry to see the back of Egg. And for my
American readers, the glory of offset mortgages will come in a future post.
