Best Place to Save For Over 60's?

AND hansi - we get our interest EVERY month instead of yearly (as in Sainsburys I believe).
one for you too : :beer:

My DH gets interest added monthly to his cash ISA with FirstDirect.

ALL my other savings accounts get interest monthly and it's added on the day it says it will, unlike northern rock which tells you 'interest added on 19th' but you have to wait until the next day to see it. ICEsave however adds mine on 17th - first thing in the morning.

Why are we turning this into an argument chesky?

I was only comparing Sainsburys & N.Rock monthly/yearly interest as those were the ones with the highest rates discussed.

You are happy with Ice Save. I'm happy with N.Rock. Others are happy with Sainsburys.

Save with the one that works best for you is my advice.:D

Sorry, didn't mean to sound argumentative but you made it seem that it was unusual to have monthly interest.

PS - I also have a Sainsbury's account and northern rock as well as ICEsave - rate tart that I am!

Chesky - You rate tart you :eek:

(but just between you and me, I did have an ING until the rates got so low.
And I did have an FD until the rates got low, and I did have an IceSave until I read the threads on here about the whales so I'm a bit tarty myself - just between you and me remember ).

In fact, I've decided I'm going to discipline myself and completely close all those accounts I've got the odd £20 in (just in case there's a miracle and they start paying 7%). But whenever it comes to it, I just can't quite bring myself to do it.

Could you define what you mean by this. I have an Silver Savers account with NR and I have no problem with their website. It's very secure.

I agree that NR website is very secure, no problem with that at all. My problem (and hubby's) was that the site is very slow compared to others we've had in the past and currently have (A+L, Halifax, B&B, Sainsburys), opening the second screen, downloading whatever before you could use it which NR estimate to be 2 .5 minutes. Just too too slow for us, drove us mad. But if people do have the patience then that's fine.
