I see Halifax are doing 7% for fixed rate bonds for 6 months. It's very tempting for me to apply as I already have a Halifax account and so it only takes a few seconds. This seems too good to be true. Are HBOS in real difficulties with their falling share price? Is the Lloyds merger failing?

Whats 7% of Nothing
Im sure it would be safe. OR NOT i wouldnt stick any money with a failing bank. Until it gets taken over or nationalised.
Me personally i am picking the banks that i feel are the safest . I dont want all the trouble of claiming my lost monies back..just for an extra 1/2%
The woman in the post office just handed me a leaflet for some kind of Growth bonds Post office savings im quite sure she said 6.75% offer ends Monday.
Post office savings (irish banking system covers to 100k). Havent read the leaflet yet..
