    wow!!

    Good on you icesave. I will remain faithful
  • Cool certainly a winner. This now takes over form my halifax current account as my best tax paying account so am moving my 1K buffer from Halifax to Icesave today. I am careful enough to not hit the overdraft :)

    I do like how up front Icesave are about their rate increases, no cat and mouse from them.

    ICICI may still pay slightly more (maybe not after the latest rate rise) but my money stays firmly in Icesave.

    ^^While ICICI may pay a little more interest, the reliability and good customer service Icesave provides outweighs the former imo. I had opened an ICICI account a while ago and then very promptly sought to close it when i discovered how dreadful their customer service is- i am still waiting for a response to an email i sent weeks ago! And if you want to speak to someone on the phone, be prepared to bear the costs of dialling India! Icesave all the way for me....
