Santander seems to be the last 3.00% bonus account on a £1 saving. Considering what happening in Spain would anyone recommeded them?
Or would it perhaps be more sensible to go for Derbyshires 2.90%.
What does anyone think? For .10% interest I want to make the best descision.
Santander UK is fully regulated by the FSA and protected by the FSCS, and is also supposed to be ring-fenced from its Spanish operations.
I would personally go with the 3% from Santander for the bit of extra interest.0 -

Agree. Up to £85K anything in Santander UK (incl Cahoot etc) is as safe as it is in any other bank that offers FSCS protection.0 -
Surprised MSE haven't yet highlighted this weeks updated offering from LloydsTSB,...
4% on up to 6k in their classic current account until October 2013. All you need is two direct debits on the account (probably only at the outset, then you can move them to another account if you want to), and you need to pay in £1k a month (same day transfer in and out will suffice).
So, 4% gross interest and instant access to your money. You're allowed up to three of these classic accounts paying 4% interest, so that gives you the ability to save 18k at 4% - certainly one of the best 'savings' rates around.0 -

Can you open a 2nd & third 'classic vantage 4% account' without actually visiting one of their branches?0 -
Just went to Santander to open a 3% eSaver. Too late already!"It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be. But it's no longer the individual banks that are in the wrong, it's the banking industry as a whole." - Steven Cooper, head of personal and business banking at Barclays, talking to Martin Lewis0
