    To save a lot of hassle I`m going with the Halifax 2 year fixed websaver at 3.55%

    Sorry about that :o -I'm sure I read that you would need a passport no (or similar ID confirmation) in the application process, but can't find it now, so must have dreamt it :)

    No problem. :) perhaps you saw that a passport could be used for ID in the list of stuff that can be provided if electronic ID is not possible. :)

    Fair enough but TBH it is hassle free opening this account, I was expecting hassle but surprisingly is was straightforward. :)

    FWIW I opted for the monthly interest option at 2.87% after tax @ 20% is deducted.

    Just an update on this account, I posted my maturing Chelsea fixed account passbook to transfer to this new bond on Wed evening and I have just checked on-line to find the money in the account and earning interest. Fairly quick IMHO. :)
