Do check that Investec have signed up for enhanced deposit guarantee schemes. I know they were in the UK scheme before, but haven't looked recently to see what the state of play on it is now.
I am tempted by Investec, 6.50% for 1 year
Would welcome suggestions/opinions. I think these rates will be withdrawn within the next few weeks so a decision is necessary sooner rather than later.
Personally, I think you should go with the Investec offer. As for "weeks" - I would say it will be days before the offer is withdrawn. Best to lock ASAP.
I agree. Spoke with them today and was told that this offer will finish at the end of next week.
Interesting ... you can walk into their Harcourt branch and open an account with the forms filled out which they will email to you. This might be peoples best best to ensure they get they rate while they can.
Does anybody know what happens to the rate after the 6-12 month period has ended? Do they allow a renewal or is this just for "new money"?
Thanks

It all depends on market conditions there are in 6 months or 12 months. It would seem unlikely that they will be able to offer such rates in 6 months given ECB drops.
What has the ECB rate got to do with the interest rate they offer? .
They also wanted all your proof of address forms certified by the gardaí or solicitors etc. They said that this was the law now. Is this true? I applied for anglo irish fixed term and i didn't have to do that!
