Key Post Safety of term deposits with Irish Nationwide and Anglo

The guarantee expires on 29 September 2010.


The Irish Deposit Protection Scheme covers 100% of deposits up to €100k and will continue to do so after the guarantee expires.

Any fixed term deposits placed on deposit before 29 September 2010, will be guaranteed in full for 5 years.

Amounts over €100,000 will be guaranteed under the ELG Scheme until maturity (maximum five years) if your institution was a participating member of the ELG Scheme on the date you made your term deposit or once your deposit is made before 29 September 2010.

So, if I put €150,000 in Irish Nationwide for two years from 1/2/2010 to 31/1/2011, the first €100,000 is covered by the Irish Deposit Protection Scheme, but the €50,000 is not covered after 29 September 2010?

Irish Nationwide and Anglo Irish Bank Best 1 year rate at present

Are both institutions equally safe for deposits? Is there anything else I should be looking out for apart from highest yearly interest rate. Thanks.

Threads merged.

I would think that the 'safety level' with Anglo and INBS is very similar.

You should look at the rate of return, the deposit protection offered and you should consider the perceived safety of deposits with these 2 troubled institutions.

Thanks for that. I've decided to avoid those 2 institutions - don't think it's worth the personal hassle for a small amount of extra interest.

31 December 2010 is now the ELG scheme date and may even be extended?
