Hey xbiker, how did you go on at A&L? Thinking of taking the 7% offer myself, just wondering if it's worth the hassle of going 'in branch' to do it?

I've just taken advantage of the A&L 7%, all perfectly straightforward and pleasant and I didn't mind the half hour drive to get to the branch. They didn't try to flog me anything else after I made it clear I wasn't interested. I have a current account and savings account with A&L already although this didn't seem to be an issue either way. They are empty and inactive anyway.

They will need to verify your identity with one proof of name (passport or driving licence etc) and one of address (council tax, utility bill etc).

Unless this is meant to be a joke, (with the exclamation marks, I presume so), but as far as I am aware it's min. deposit of £1,000 for everyone.

Branch visit? Cheque? BACS? I can vividly picture them taking 8 weeks to act on written maturity instructions. How much interest do the funds accrue between maturity and withdrawal?




I can vividly picture investors going along to the branch to make withdrawal of maturity funds, carrying maturity cheque out by hand as absolute reverse action to that of opening fixed rate bond by cheque, by hand at a branch.
