No worries thanks for the 100K FP limit!

If you can offer better rates on fixed term bonds, you can have even more

Only problem its a bit of a faff to close the zero balance account as I did recently with an Iss 3 eSaver. You can't just close it online - you have to call them.

It would be easier if you could close old eSaver's online, but even with the option of being able to close old accounts over the phone is a blessing.

Halifax require you to write in to their 'Closure Department' to have your online accounts closed.

I didn't call them. I just sent them a private message when logged in.
Next time I looked they had closed the old account and transferred the outstanding interest to the new one.:)

I am not having such a good experience. I am an existing customer and I am trying to apply after logging in to online banking but after the form demands my employment details (which I would prefer not to give out just to open a savings account),

I understand thats just for marketing purposes to decide what sort of spam to send you. It doesn't really matter what you describe your job as. I just put 'retired'.

That's helpful to know, thanks.

Didn't think of that - what a good idea! Thanks!

Would something like this suit you?

for better and guaranteed returns, just select one or more of nbg’s time deposit
accounts to enjoy higher yields, greater convenience and more flexible
investment choices
.

Alternatively Bank of Cyprus (in Greece) pay 4.9% interest up front: http://www.bankofcyprus.gr/en-GB/Deposit-Accounts/Fixed-Term-Deposits/ADVANCE-Accounts-with-interest-repayment/

ADVANCE accounts for individuals prepay the interest in the beginning of the time deposit, thus providing you a significant annual income without the slightest effort.





Main characteristics

• Time deposits in Euro for a period of 1, 3,6, 9 or 12 months with competitive interest rate up to 4,90%

Here's an old video from Bank of Cyprus (Australia) which illustrates it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw8hrFAKnd4

Thanks - opened online in a matter of seconds and transferred my issue 4 funds to it.

Only weird-ism I'm seeing is the eSaver 5 doesn't appear in my "Quick Transfer" drop down 'From' box - have I forgotten to do something there? I can still transfer it using Payments & Transfers>Transfer Between My Accounts, but it's nicer having the "Quick Transfer" option.

Anyone else see this or have I forgotten to 'add' it somewhere?

Muchos gracias

You need to add the account.

On the 'Your accounts' page select add, remove or rename an account which is located in the centre of the screen in the grey shaded area. You can then display them how you wish.
I personally rename mine to display FULL account name and interest rates. Saves a lot of searching if you forget etc.
