Barclays Monthly Savings 7.49%

not sure if its been mentioned on this, if you open it ask for the statement to be sent quarterly or monthly if you want to keep track of how much is in and interest if you havent a current account, as you definatly cant access the details online if you havent (i checked today and the person i spoke to in branch was wrong about that)

the default for this account is for annual statements, so if you want to know more frequently how much is in it (ie the monthly interest earned etc) you may want to get them to change the statement to a more frequent option

Last chance today to get the 7.75% rate on the monthly savings account before the rate is reduced on Monday to 6%

they seem to have put £20 into my a/c, as well as my opening £20. Just topped it up to £250.
Seems this is an 'opening gift' ?

Checked the Barclays website before I left and the rate is going down to 6% from Monday 1st December

Fall back position looks like 7% at Halifax - assuming they don't pull theirs!

Or The Abbey Fixed Rate Monthly Saver Issue 7. At the moment paying 6.66% if you make 1 withdrawal in a month or 7.25% if no withdrawals are made. Deposits of £20 to £250 a month allowed.

I'm so glad I went down to Abbey to open the account this afternoon as I was told they are slashing the rate on Monday so today was the last opportunity to get 7.25% :T

Down to 4% or 5% I think. She said almost all their accounts are being slashed on Monday, one of them down to as little as 0.4% :eek:
