There are several c. 1 month notice accounts listed in the Financial Best Buys forum!

Er - this IS Askaboutmoney!

How is a 30 day notice period going to stop him doing this?
 
ok...sorry meant itsyourmoney not askaboutmoney!

Hubbie tends to look in buy and sell for instant deals if money not readily availible will prevent buying random things not needed

Need an account with limited access but also can deposit regularly...what do you think?
 
Seems to me that there are two separate issues (1) getting him to control his impulse expenditure and (2) getting the best deposit interest returns. I don't think that a notice account is necessarily going to solve issue (1). He needs to take responsibility for his actions. If your (joint?) priority is to save towards a house build then he needs to take cognizance of that, act responsibly and work with your towards that goal. In relation to (2) there are many, many existing threads on how to mix and match various lump sum and regular saver accounts to maximise deposit interest returns.
 
I just checked the current rate on my own 30 day notice account with Irish Nationwide.

They are paying an annual gross rate of 5% on it since the 1st August.

You must have 20k to open the account.
