    It was 4.1 when I looked yesterday.

    I'm dithering because it's bound to go down & down isn't it? Whereas I can get 3.5 fixed with B Midshires, & already have 4.25 with Firstsave.

    Loco,
    Yes, very similar to SAGA but of course SAGA you need to be 50+.

    The rate is higher than SAGA though as it includes accounts with bonus rates, and notice accounts, when analysing the 'top 5', whilst SAGA excludes these.

    Also bear in mind that SAGA, AA, Birmingham Midshires, Bank of Scotland and Halifax are ALL the same, so if you have accounts with any of them you are only covered by the compensation scheme up to 50K in total across all these accounts.

    If you decide to go ahead with Investec, drop me a PM to get the £50 bonus each, but good luck whatever you decide.

    You get £50 for being recommended as well as £50 for the referrer.

    If you want £75 with the referrer getting £25 - personally I couldn't be @rsed!!! :rolleyes:

    PM sent in case you didn't know about your £50. ;)

    Hi - PM sent. 50/50 split (that is £50 each from Investec) seems fair to me though!
