Darkman Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Any decent returns offered on savings accounts out there somewhere? Anywhere? I don't mean the ones involving tying your money up for 3 years. Any? Just wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymadman Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 For no strings attached accounts 2.5% is the best I found, let me know if you find any better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Spider Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Sainsbury's 2.90% (max 3 withdrawls in year) . http://www.sainsburysbank.co.uk/savings/sa...ings_zone.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Sadman Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Just signed up to coventry BS 3.3% instant access with monthly interest. They'll probably collapse in a few months, but then they just get taken over/savings book sold on elsewhere or whatever. I dont really trust the ratings agencies anyway. Never used BS's until recently, but you get a nice little savings book and lots of AGM voting stuff, which i find nice in a sad sort of way, at least compared to my bank accounts where the only stuff they send me is promotional crud, like annuities offers (im 25!)

Toilet-Currency Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 For no strings attached accounts 2.5% is the best I found, let me know if you find any better! Intelligent Finance Isaver is 2.85% (web only), no notice, £1 min But then you'd be putting your money in the evil Lloyds Banking Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonb Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 For no strings attached accounts 2.5% is the best I found, let me know if you find any better! 2.85% - http://www.if.com/savings/isaver.aspx and http://www.sjpbank.co.uk/products/savings.asp Both are part of the Bank of Scotland so you have a single £50k limit between both of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkman Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 We still have a bid of 3.3! Do I hear 3.5? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgefunded Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Get a few Lloyds TSB Vantage accounts. £7k maximum in each and you have to put £1000 in per month. Paying 4% instant access. So, how about 10 accounts, standing order to move the money each month and bish bash bosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
