Instant access with fast pay
Now that the bonus has come to an end on my Natwest e-savings I need somewhere else to keep emergency cash. I know Sainsbury, Ing, AA etc have good rates (or had) but do they also do fast pay as I like to know I can get cash into my current account quickly? Any suggestions of who would fit the bill? Thanks

Lloyds Classic + Vantage: 1 account or 2? £1,000/mth in each Vantage?
I thought I'd start a new thread, instead of adding to "Is 3.40% the best for 1-year...", as my question is specific to Lloyds' Classic + Vantage account. Is the Classic + Vantage one account or two, i.e. a 'current' + 'savings'? If I open the max. of three accounts, does £1,000 have to be deposited (or circulated in and…

A & L Online Saver Issue 6
Hey guys, I've been looking at this account, and it says you have to deposit a minimum of £1,000 - but as far as I can tell, there is nothing to stop you taking £999 straight back out again. No interest penalty, nothing. Am I right, or is there something I've missed?
