Barclays Monthly Savings 7.49%

I'm surprised it's still available to be honest as I opened mine back in June when the LTSB 8% one ended. Pity you can't have more than one or I'd be opening another whilst it's still available lol

lol it used to be the opposite with me, i used to get mum to put savings in her name as she doesnt qualify to pay tax on the savings as she doesnt earn enough (she doesnt do it any more, but mum and dad have their savings in her name)

now thats a good one for any kids! especially as they dont normally pay tax on the interest

reference this barclays ones, can you get online access to it if you dont have a current account or online account with them, as reading their website seems to imply that you cant, however the girl at the branch i opened the account with asked if i would like online access and when i said yes she advised that i would reveceive info in the post about how to access the online services as well as a "welcome" pack for this account?

Well, unless they've changed things recently then no you can't. I had to open a current account at the same time to get the online access.

thanks for the reply. thats what i thought, and definatly didnt open a current account, only the monthly savings, maybe the girl was confused. I dont mind not having online access, as i can always pop to the branch to check my balence as i work down the road from it, but i was just curious

how long does it take for the account to be opened and the initial deposit to be taken your barclays current account?

i was expecting it to be immediate?!?!?
