Whiteaway Laidlaw Bank

Jonbvn

Just come across this bank while looking for a new home for some of our LTSB vantage money.

Rates seem quite good on 60/90 days notice. Anybody have feedback, since I have never even heard of them.

TIA.:money:

The used to be part of Great Universal (GUS) the catalogue firm.

3.35% for a 6 month term deposit appeals greatly.

It now appears to be part of RBS but has its own banking licence for FSCS protection.

Very strange how it doesn't feature in the Best Accounts.....well not on Money Saving Expert, anyway.

They were in the Telegraph best buy table for the 90 day account. Personally I am looking at their 6 month fixed bond at 3.35%. I was considering the First Save at 3.5% fixed for a year but favour Whiteaway as interest rates are likely to go up by the autumn and there should be some better rates around then.

Have you seen Secure Trust Bank's 6 month (183 day) notice account? It guarantees to pay 3% above the base rate i.e. currently 3.5%.

Many thanks atypical for that information, I hadn't seen it. Indeed I have never heard of them before!
