Best bank accounts filled. Where to next?

Postcard

Hi all,

I've taken advantage of all the high interest 'best bank accounts' available to me (no joint accounts as I'm single) and now have a Nationwide FlexDirect coming to an end and an ISA which is dropping to a 0.7% rate. I also skim off the monthly interest to a Lloyds 4% monthly saver account, which is also at it's monthly pay-in limit.

Any suggestions on where I should transfer the £8k from the two above accounts? I was thinking a short term NISA?

Many thanks

Sorry, I should have been a little clearer. All the accounts as stated in Martin's 'Best bank accounts' guide

Why not say which accounts you have, rather than have people guessing and suggesting accounts you already have?

Having said that, I don't think the above article mentions BoS Vantage? If it doesn't, then there's room for £15K there.

Sorry,

I currently have:

Santander 123
Lloyds Club account
Lloyds Club monthly saver
TSB classic plus x2
Nationwide Flexdirect
Tesco Bank
Virgin money ISA
Nationwide ISA

Thanks for the suggestion Yorkshireboy. I think I enquired about the BoS accounts some time ago but decided to look elsewhere as there were no local branches, so may have had problems with providing ID in branch etc. I'll have another look into their accounts though, thank you.

Clydesdale is mentioned in the above referenced article, as is Tesco, so OP must already have those three (1 x YB/CB and 2 x Tesco), along with Santander, Club Lloyds, & 2 x TSB.


But if they've the thick end of £50K in cash, maybe they should consider other options such as S&S (ISA or unwrapped). If they're concerned about the associated risks, then regular savers may be the way to go?

There's no BoS branch anywhere near me, but I managed to open 3 accounts by phone without issue.

What about a 2nd Tesco account?

I've yet to open a 2nd Tesco account as I completely forgot about it! Thanks! Another debit card to add to the collection

You wanted room for £8K, and we've found room for £18K. Should be OK for a while then?
