Hi
I have 35000 to invest and do not have a clue where is best for my money.Can anyone offer any advice.0 -
ICICI are hopeless and they wont open an account for me unless I first open a current account with them.
This is because they will not link a joint account with their savings account.
Oh and it took them four weeks to process and then decide to send my cheque back to me uncashed.
Appalling service frankly.0 -

Guys - the best high street instant access at the moment is Abbeys 6.50% but that is for new money only followed by A&L who pay no interest when you make a withdrawal!
Halifax have a web saver extra at 6.15% with 1 free withdrawal at a maximum investment of £100k
and then the rest trail in with just above 6% or less....0 -
Heard that this bank are in deep with US sub-prime problems and that Moodys are about to remove their triple A rating. I'm no expert, but financial commentators have suggested that they may be using UK savers to "plug a funding gap" - Hence the very high interest rate on offer.
I think your first £35K will be guaranteed, but if your lucky enough to have more savings than that, I wouldn't put it here....0 -
I have two teenagers who want to open high interest internet savings accounts.
Most sites seem to require a minimum age of 18.
Who offers the best deal for a 16 year old?0 -

I've opened an account but waiting to deposit the cash as they need a bank statement from my linked account. I'm a bit worried now. Anyone else heard anything?I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!0 -

Have a read of this thread. I suggest you have a look at the link I provide near the bottom of that thread. I think they're as safe as anyone, but that's just my opinion.
