    cos69 - thanks for the Skipton link. I'm keeping an eye open for a deposit account for equity from a house sale, and the 30 day 4 year rate is pretty good! :)
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

    Your welcome Wobblydeb
    Just got back from visiting the local branch.
    Opened the 90 day penalty 4 year rate since if it falls badly behind other offerings I can my money out anytime.

    The penalty only applies to the amount withdrawn and you can add to the account whilst the offer is open, so you can open an account and top it up later.

    Being a building society, you get the benefits of "free shares" if you are a member for 5-years should they decide to become a bank. So a secondary benefit for keeping a small account going.
