Group Savings Accounts

Hi, I have a group of around 10 of us that are looking at putting approx £75each into a savings account each month for a period of around 18month to save cash to then pay for a trip away. Are there any accounts that people could recommend we use that would give us the best benefits if any?

    Why on earth would you do this ? The complications and issues that could arise would make this a nightmare.
    Save up separately and then the inevitable dropouts, disputes, late payments, requests for a payment delay don't affect everyone, just the one person whose account it is. And no one needs to be keeping an eye on everyone so payment and chasing late payees.

    Why don't you all open one of these? You all then set up a monthly standing order from your current accounts.

    The penalty could put you off dipping into savings.
