    Nationwide itself predicts a 0.5% Bank of England rate cut next month.

    No chance! I see only a 0.25% cut for the rest of this year.

    The MPC have to keep inflation in check.

    It depends on how much pressure the government puts on the our independent rate deciders :D

    Think it will go up again or is this their final offer?
    May well go up further - they've increased the rate 3 times this month alone :j

    It was 6.25%, it increased to 6.3% on Apr 2nd, then to 6.4% on Apr 18th and now to 6.6%.

    Hence why in Post No 2 i detailed 6.5% Branch rate as not everyone has a Nationwide Flexi Account and/or wants to wait for funds to clear via the flexi account before it can be transferred into the E-Bond.

    Birmingham Midshires is doing a 1year fixed rate internet bond at 6.81% AER
    www.askbm.co.uk. Thought this quite good if you can leave money in account for the year. Although I suspose like most of the good rates you would have to look elsewhere when the year is up.

    Yes, and you're also only allowed to make one deposit to it. I almost made a fatal mistake when starting to activate the account from my Flexaccount as I was only going to deposit the minimum £1 and add to it later - until I read the T&C before clicking confirm ;)

    U can open as many Nationwide fixed rate accounts as u desire so it wouldnt have been a "fatal" mistake. ;)
