I would like to put a sum of about £30K somewhere. I already have a Lloyds Club account with the linked savings account. Where could I put the rest? Whats the ICIC account mentioned further down the thread?

Many thanks

I have been putting mine on peer2peer sites like ratesetter and assetzcapital.

Whilst it is instant access, you only get that rate if you don't make more than 1 withdrawal per year.

You forgot to add that your one withdrawal is subject to daily withdrawal limits. Further, you also either have to be able traipse into a branch with a passbook or rely on snailmail hoping your postal items won't be delayed or lost in transit.

Let's have a look at the out details shall we?

The account can be managed in branch, at an agency, by post or online

How much can I pay from my account by Faster Payments?

Steadily rising since last September, though

If only others would follow suit.

To be exact, last week it was 1.01% and a few weeks before that it was 0,96%. So actually recently it's gone up from 0.96% to 1.06% including 0.66% 1 year bonus

I am only getting 1%. :mad: Normally at the end of each year, the bonus drops off, so I close the account and open a new one and get the bonus again ! However, it is not worth the hassle for .06%
