    .........Egg might be fancy online (I don't know) but the Saffron online one is paying a good interest rate at the minute too.

    Of course there's a balance between on-line useability and interest rate!
  • Disagree completely - there doesn't need to be any such balance.

    Seek and you shall find.......
  • You mentioned he has an ING account already, but they offer the ability to set up different accounts and given them individual names, so he already has the facility to set up "pots". They do mess around with interest rates, but sometimes they offer good bonus rates over your current balance, so worth keeping the account open with a small amount in it if he does set up another account.
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    I don't need to.
