Just to add, I was looking through the various accounts earlier and the 2 year fixed vanished in front of my eyes, no longer available.jimexbox said:I'm going to open a one year's fix tonight. You have 30 days to fund the account, enough time to see how one year rates are heading.I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.0 -

From their FAQ:-Once you have funded your Vanquis Bank Savings account you cannot add to it. You can however open another Vanquis Bank Savings account provided you are able to fund the new deposit with at least the minimum investment amount. To apply for another Vanquis Bank Savings account please log into your account online and select the "Open Another Account" tab
