EXCLUSIVE - New ING 7% Account Coming Soon.!

Hello peeps,

I have been given this info from an inside source ;)

ING is likely to soon launch a new savings account with a 7% Interest rate.

However there is likely to be a clause - It maybe something along the lines of leaving the money in the account for a certain period of time (i.e. 18 months) or Interest will be paid after a certain period of time...

:)

    Thank you. I will keep an eye out! :)
    The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. :rolleyes:

    Perhaps it is a regular savings account?

    The Halifax regular saver pays 7% so maybe it's to match that?!
    2p off is still 2p off!

    I wonder if if will be for new customers only. I'd hung on to my 5% account with Ing and have been using it as a staging post between the old Egg at 5.5% and the new Alliance & Leicester at 5.35%, whilst the new account was being set up. You never know when to close accounts and when to keep them open!

    If ING do a 7% account and they pay monthly i will definately not renew my Halifax one when it matures.

    It will be great news if ING Direct do launch a 7% account. :j

    If they don't, then the new 6.75% regular saver launched by the Principality Building Society this week may be worth a look. They allow you to deposit from £20 up to a maximum £500 per month :D.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    I had a leaflet from a company yesterday offering me a loan for 5.8% apr.
    Would it be a goer to borrow a large sum and then put it into this savings acccount?
    If it happens.
    I realise that you will have to be able to afford the monthly repayments on the loan.
    Waddle you do eh?

    7% gross is 5.6% net for basic rate taxpayers and only 4.2% net for higher rate taxpayers.

    So only profitable if you are a non taxpayer.

    Which would imply a low income ........

    Which would imply a small loan (Lloyds TSB please note :) ) ........

    So only a small profit.
