Spreadco paying 2% interest on deposits

[Arbu]

Spreadco are now paying 2% interest on deposits up to £50,000 provided you do at least ten trades a month. That's quite attractive as the most I can get elsewhere is 1.25% so worth £375/year, although I would expect to lose money on the trades so would have to keep the stakes small. Does anywhere else pay interest?

Hmm, the ts and cs for this offer state:

"6.1. You being a Qualifying Applicant, 2% per annum, or any other amount of interest to be determined by SPREAD CO in its sole and absolute discretion. "

Requests as to why they are allowed to pay you a different amount if they feel like it are not getting any response. Doesn't look good.

This actually looks like a good offer considering the crap interest you get on normal current accounts nowadays. You only need to do 10 trades per month to qualify and it applies up to 50K balance! I don't like their charting/trading platform much though so I wont bother.

I got shortchanged on the interest last month. Had to contact them twice on live chat, then go through the statements for each day of last month to calculate the correct amount myself and email them twice before they finally corrected it.
