Newcastle 5yr fixed bond Issue3

Opened this 5yr fixed rate account at 3.35% about 18 months ago. You can withdraw it all with 120 days notice with no penalty. Is it worth moving considering I have 45k in there. I like the idea of the 120 days access. Are there any other accounts out there at the moment like this that can top my interest rate with ease of access

    The rate seems poor for a 5 year fix - maybe that's the price of access. I have the 5% pa 5 year fix one from summer 2009 with a 90 day notice facility. Methinks I will keep the account for 5%!!!

    3.20% with easy access appeals. If you can stretch to £50k.
