Clydesdale current account

AndyPK

I understand they will give you £150 if you switch but what is the interest rate and on how much?

Looking to invest 8k short term and earn more than 1.2% net that it's earning ATM.

I guess bos and lloyds is the answer.

Did you check their website?

AndyPK

I did but don't know which current account earns decent interest (if any)

colsten

If it isn't obvious from information on their website what interest which of their accounts pay, I wouldn't take out an account with them.

AndyPK

Thanks for your helpful replies.

Why bother posting if you don't wish to answer the question.

colsten

I am sorry if you don't recognise help when it is offered on a plate.

Do you seriously think a bank would pay interest according to a post on MSE? Or would they pay interest according to what their website says?

AndyPK

I know there are a fair few MSE users that know the interest rates of the top paying accounts off the top of their head.

I know a lot of them but not Clydesdale.

So you are still effectively suggesting the word of an MSE forum member would govern the interest rate a bank pays?

AndyPK

Nope I never said that.

MSE users know the name of the account with good interest though.

Thanks Ian. I just found it lol.

Not worth moving the money there then.

So you are happy posting back and forth with me on MSE, but you aren't happy to spend a minute or two on the Clydesdale website to find out about their interest rates?

And if I told you they pay 5% on £12K as long as you had three monthly paying DDs and paid a £3 monthly fee, would you expect that they'd pay you 5% on £12K as long as you had three monthly paying DDs and paid a £3 monthly fee? And if they didn't pay as you expected, what would you do? Would you refer to them to my post on MSE and be very cross?
