Has anyone any experiences of this institution?

I know the limit to which you recieve back in the event of a bust is only 50k sterling in Guernsey? But living overseas, well off shore is my only option. My last remaining UK based account/bond closes in October....

Any experiences most welcome. I have opened an account, nothing web based, all phone and paper. But 1.75% on 180 notice ain't bad....

Would you deposit a large sum with them? What is there parent company like the Skipton B/S...

You can find onshore accounts available to non-residents without much trouble, if you look for them. You should probably look for deposit takers which accept R105 forms also, though your need for this will depend on your individual circumstances and other income.

Personally I have moved most of my cash back onshore due to the better interest rates and better protection offered there.

Gilts and commercial bonds are other options, though both come with some risk.
