    I'm getting 3.48 on my eSaver 2 - I think that's a pretty good rate at the moment!
  • Given that Barclays are the only big 5 bank that actually made a profit and didn't resort to tax payer handouts (if my memory serves), perhaps we should be looking at what they are doing and get the other muppets that nearly bankrupted the country to start doing the same thing.
    LOL, no taxpayer handouts, they borrowed off the Arabs instead.
