ING Savings Accounts
Is there anyone else who is experiencing difficulties withdrawing large amounts from ING? I even asked for a CHAPS payment but 7 days later all I am getting is "we are looking into it". The CHAPS fee was refunded on the same day that the payment was requested. Perhaps they had no intention of fulfilling this request.

Top Fixed Rate Savings currently?
One of my bonds have just matured and trying to figure out what the best thing to do with it is at this time. Highest I have found is Halifax 3 months fixed rate at 6.5%.
