Is a Regular Saver (Halifax 7%) still a good deal
Hello. I'd welcome a little advice... I save £250 each month in the 7% Halifax Regular Saver. Could you tell me if Regular Saver accounts are a good way to save or is it a better deal to invest the lump sum of £3000 (£250 x 12) in a fixed rate account at a lower rate (eg 6.86%)? Thank you in advance. BG
