Bradford & Bingley 6.81% AER Fixed Rate Bond

Just got the nod from a contact that Bradford & Bingley have
a 6 month bond due out on Wednesday 9th paying 6.81% AER monthly and 6.70% Annual Interest.
Apparently it won't be available online though, just through branches.
Looks like a good deal if base rate goes down on the 10th April as
expected.

1 Year Fixed Rate ISA (Issue 4) at 6.25% AER
What do you mean when you say "6 month bond"?0 -

The 1 year fixed rate ISA @ 6.25% will earn tax free interest, rate being fixed for 1 year.
A 6 month fixed rate product has the interest rate fixed for 6 months, but interest earned would not be tax free, if the product in not an ISA.0 -

Exactly although I wasn't sure what the OP meant by "6 month bond"...0 -
a bond generally means that you put in a lump sum and cannot touch it until the bond matures (in this case for 6 months). If you do make a withdrawal in that time you will suffer a penalty of say a loss of 30/60/90 days interest. You need to read the T&C's of each account to see the exact penalty.0

Info is on Money Facts, virtually a 7 month term

You cannot transfer money from a B&B eSaver to the bond. You would have to transfer the money to a current account and write a cheque. Fastest turn-around possible would be 4 days of lost interest if transferring out on Monday and taking the cheque to the branch on Wednesday.Dagobert0
