Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available News!

Special_Saver2

Hi Everybody,

Okay, I have spotted another account. It is a pretty good rate if you don't mind giving 35 days' notice and the fact it is a branch/postal account. Remember, if you have £50,000 or more then you would be better off with the Birmingham Midshires 3.2% account.


Manchester BS Platinum Notice Account Issue 1

• Interest rate: 3.16% gross/AER on £1,000 to £75,000 (including a 1.15% bonus for the first 12 months)

• Withdrawals with 35 days' notice

• Four withdrawals allowed per calendar year

Deposits will be accepted until 10th April 2012 up to a maximum of £75,000 per customer.

The account is available for new funds only. Transfers of funds from existing Manchester Building Society accounts will not be accepted. If you have or had a Manchester Building Society account you may open a Platinum Notice Issue 1 account as long as you have not made a withdrawal or closure from your account within the previous 21 days prior to application or deposit

Interest is paid annually on 31st December and can be credited to the account or paid out to your bank account according to your preference as indicated on the application form. Interest rates are variable and any changes in interest rates are usually communicated to customers via notices in our branch and agencies, on our website, and in the national press.

Please note that this account is a limited edition and we reserve the right to withdraw this account at any time and return applications and/or deposits should the account become oversubscribed.

If you want to discuss this account then please go to the following thread: Manchester BS 3.16% Account (35 days' notice, branch/postal)

Is eMoneyFacts really going subscription only?
Still works for me, on this URL ....

Or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Yes, you are looking at the right page and it is still available for the moment.

This Coventry account looks like a "debranded" version of their Poppy account. The Poppy came and went in less than two weeks IIRC.

Derbyshire Building Society variable rate net saver (issue 3) is increasing to 3.06% AER tomorrow according to emoneyfacts. This is one of the best easy access rates currently available.

Go to this thread to discuss the account. Please do not discuss the account here.

That is a fair point.

The thing is that I cannot check those websites every day in case there is a good, new account out as I am really busy during the week. There may be other people like me in that respect. I depend upon this forum and emoneyfacts to point new accounts, indeed there was a really good account from Monmouthshire Building Society recently that somebody revealed first on this forum.

Thank you for this initatiave. Hope it will be maintationed and keep updated.

It appears that, unfortunately, from today Emoneyfacts is only available to those paying the subscription. This thread is now 'live' for annoucements of new accounts and newly withdrawn accounts. This is not for disscussing these accounts - a new thread can be created for this.
