centrallondon Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 Well I have just got an email notifying me of their new Internet Saver that pays 6.4% AER with no restrictions or penalties for withdrawals. Seems an interesting time to launch it? Guess they wanted me to signup for a bond since I was withdrawing. They really are getting desperate.

FTBagain Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Well I have just got an email notifying me of their new Internet Saver that pays 6.4% AER with no restrictions or penalties for withdrawals. Seems an interesting time to launch it? They need the money, and they are not the only ones'. The trouble is investment / savings decisions are not going to be made merely by looking at the interest rate offered. Not after NR. Folk are going to think about the strength of the institution in question as well. B+B, A&L and of course NR are now possibly the preserve of the brave or uninformed (although they would have to have been in a pretty remote spot not to have heard about the run on NR!).

Pluto Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Well I have just got an email notifying me of their new Internet Saver that pays 6.4% AER with no restrictions or penalties for withdrawals. Seems an interesting time to launch it? Those internet accounts are all fine and dandy until you log on and the "computer says no" alla Northern Rock.

topliner Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Pure hype! Nothing wrong with BB at the moment, they don't have anything like the exposure of NR, fact! BB are just being careful, they don't want any daft run on their funds by scaremongering techniques of the press that's all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
