    Would agree with that, but there does seem to be a bidding war on fixed-term savings rates - most have been edging up over the last few months, but usually by just enough to get in the top five. However, this seems to have hopped up by nearly 0.1% (from 6.61%) instead of the usual 0.02%

    fixed rate bonds are fast becoming savings institutions main marketing weapon, certainly making it less attractive for people to start drip feeding into reg savers, currently people with lump sums in the top paying ongoing reg savers are better off sticking where they are, the gap is certainly closing. :eek:

    Just noticed all the 2 to 5 year fixes have hopped up as well - was all Coventry and Halifax yesterday. Banks stocking up now because they think a big credit crunch is on the horizon..?
  • yep, i think there up at lending 97 times more money then they actually have at teh moment thanks to electronic money. The country (ie personal debt) has borrowed so much more then it can pay back, thats for sure.

    Annoyingly the bond has to be opened by post (can download an application form online) or telephone. I do like the ones that can be set up instantly online- West Brom have always been good on this and now Halifax and Coventry.
    I have always got some fixed rates on the go - in my experience the top players are Halifax, Coventry, Anglo Irish, West Brom, Birmingham Midshires, and Bank of Cyprus.They chase each other around in ever decreasing circles dropping out of the race for a couple of months and then popping up at the top again.
