leeds building society three year bond paying 6.70% requires a minimum five thousand.and is a postal account.regular savers are becoming less attractive i think. there is a fixed rate war going on at the moment.

i see they do a monthly option also, which is what i'm after. anybody know what the net rate is? what a great three year bond - this even beats Chelsea BS.

I can't remember - is there a 25% penalty free withdrawal on the Loyalty Bond?

nope as long as u give 60 days notice, their are no penalties, at the end of bonus period ( 311207) no part withdrawals are allowed ( so i was told last year) either withdraw all funds or leave all funds ( without the 1.25% gross bonus) invested.

im working it so that first working day after 1.1.08 all remaining funds will fund january yorkshire + loughborough RS (s)

Anybody opened the 6.70% 2 year postal bond yet?

I've just opened it online with a £0 balance and sent in the application to activate it. I'm confused as to whether (once activated) funding can be BACSed in or whether it has to be paid in via chq/post. Anyone know answer?
