    Oxbury have good notice accounts, you then get access to their existing customer rates. Currently 1 and 2 year @ 6.01%.

    Sounds interesting, so if I opened the 90-day 5.51% with £1k do I get immediate access to the 6.01%?

    Yes, I've just checked their current fixed rates for existing customers, and their one and two is still 6.01%

    if you're going down this road, might be worth looking at their EA account @ 4.94% - you still need £1k to open, but you don't have to keep that as minimum balance... you can withdraw (perhaps leaving £1) or transfer it to the fixed account, but you won't get any interest on balances below £1k.

    I have a renewal option with RCI at 5.95% that I would take, but I do not want to limit how much I can put in their 95 day notice account which has been very good. Obviously want to keep within the FSCS limit.

    That worked a treat, thank you :smiley:

    I just opened the basic account, haven't funded it yet but was then allowed to open and fund the 1 year fix @ 6.01%
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    When I opened mine I realized the rate is better than the easy access I currently use to shuffle maturing bonds in and out, so I plan on using it as well.

    I'm looking at a 2-year fix with the Union Bank of India has anyone used them, and how did you find the sign up process and customer services.

    So could I get the decent 2 year fixed rate if I open the EA as a new customer?

    On the 2 year fix is there a funding window & can interest be paid away monthly?

    Thanks for the tip btw!
