Thanks for the prompt reply!  

Yes indeed you can record the rate in the comments which is what I currently do
but it's very messy for simple reports however such as a list of account
details. You can't easily parse the rate from the rest of the notes
(technically you could using special characters etc but hardly a newbie
workaround) so a report must include all the notes (which may take up half the
page with) just to detail the associated rate. Mixing it in with notes also
precludes using the rate to calculate expected returns on fixed term accounts
for example.

I agree that you can't download it easily but it one of those useful facts that
doesn't change so often you can't update it manually but it does vary (more
often now) over time on savings accounts, credit card accounts and loans so
it's useful to be able to quickly see and compare rates across accounts in a
list.

I thought an extra field on the account record would be a useful feature for
many users and no so onerous to implement. 

You're quite right I should have stuck with the more precise account terms I
used in the title rather than shorthand-ing them as "cash accounts". 

Thanks again for your "interest" ;-)
