    Some people will have opened one of these some time ago, i only transferred out of mine into a 2 year members fixed rate in January. ( Highlighting the rate may give others the nod to move funds out)

    People often post about INGS so called poor rates, its time that some Building Society very poor rates were highlighted IMO. ;)

    ING Direct rates are better than this account with being 5.15% and at least they are trying to be a little competitive again by offering a 12 month bonus at 6% for new customers.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Netsave has been dropping for some time - kept a few quid in which worked when I opened their "old gits" account (although that's now gone). At least they occasionally have a decent account unlike some of the "mortgage best buy" B/socs (Brittania and Nottingham spring to mind).
