Building Society savings account with a passbook.

Sinbad

My elderly mother is of the old school type and want a building society savings account with a passbook. I have advised her that she is unlikely to get a high rate of return but as I say, she is old school.
Any recommendations?

Thanks
Paul

Useful but many branch accounts do not come with a passbook.

Searching this database by selecting "Advanced Search" and within "Account Access" selecting "Branch Access" & "Passbook" should narrow the field still further.

I suppose she could have some money in a building society near her and some invested for a better return.
If she refuses just put it all in whichever one is nearest for her to get to, some people just can't be helped............

the cheshire do the passbook savings book , but of course depends which county your in

Virgin Easy Access Saver (iss 2) at 2.6% with no intro bonus. You get a passbook with it so that would seem OK if there is a branch of Northern Rock nearby. You can chose to get monthly interest too.
