At a guess I would have thought LBS would be poor for FP.

Hmm I read the same news on emoneyfact.co.uk today. I wonder if it'll have a monthly interest option? Wait and see I suppose.

Be very tempted to snap one of these up, even just as an insurance against falling rates elsewhere.

I am already an existing customer. I am a bit confused after reading their information. Am I going to have to go through the same processes as a new customer?

I would rather do a bank transfer than send a cheque.

I am an existing online customer. When quoting my existing a/c no. I was forced to log in and apply from there. New a/c no. created immediately, still requested to send cheque.

I have sent application without requesting to close old 2% a/c and xfer funds. See how it goes.
