anyone got one of these, seems a pretty decent monthly return at the moment 3.7% fixed one year, but am a bit wary of the bank as I have never heard of them before. Any help appreciated.

I've got several cash Isa's with them as well as other fixed rate bonds.
Why are you wary of them given the safety measures in place for the first £50K0 -
Julian Hodge is an established smaller bank that is covered by the FSA Guarantee.
But in any case you can get 3.95% from NS&I and that's rock solid!I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0 -

You can also get a Lloyds Tsb Vantage account paying 4% monthy interest, with instant access but you need to have between £5k and £7k to get that rate, and you have to cycle £1000 through it each month (but that can be a SO in and straight out).
You can have up to three of these accounts and just cycle the £1000 between the three accounts each month (it doesn't have to be new money)I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0 -

My wife has a one year Capital Millennium Bond taken out early this year when it was 4.50%. She has monthly interest for income. That will be yet another of our bonds up for reinvestment somewhere at maturity in January 2010. But they do seem OK.graham_gaskell wrote: »anyone got one of these, seems a pretty decent monthly return at the moment 3.7% fixed one year, but am a bit wary of the bank as I have never heard of them before.
