Using the formula above in month 6 the interest rate would be 6/12*8% = 4%

You have to compare like with like. €1K in month 6 in this account earns 4% over the remaining 6 months of the 1 year term. €1K over 6 months in a 5% lump sum account earns 2.5%. You are better off with the regular saver. Or rather drip feeding the 8% regular saver from a 5% lump sum account.

Re: Anglo Irish launches new 8% Regular Savings Account

How would I make a withdrawal after 6 months or at the end of the term without going into a branch ? (there is no branch near me)

Is this account covered by the deposit protection scheme ? Its not mentioned in the T&C

Yes it is but after reading this I am a bit wary of investing too much with them.
 
Re: Anglo Irish launches new 8% Regular Savings Account

Have you seen the pop-up message on the Anglo website Regular Saver which says "Closing date 27th June". Is this the last date for opening the 8% Account
 
Re: Anglo Irish launches new 8% Regular Savings Account

Jeez I hope that's not true! Still waiting for BOI online activation code!

Is that not for the secure capital plus account?
 
Re: Anglo Irish launches new 8% Regular Savings Account

Correct. But it's confusing the way the site displays that panel!
 
Re: Anglo Irish launches new 8% Regular Savings Account

Is Anglo Irish the only bank that does not request a PPS no.when opening an account. I thought this is the norm under the money laundering Act

I wasn't asked for pps verification with First active and National Irish
 
Re: Anglo Irish launches new 8% Regular Savings Account

Maybe the [broken link removed] mean that opening accounts from now on may require a PPSN?
 
Re: Anglo Irish launches new 8% Regular Savings Account

Received BOI standing order activation code today. It was a couple of days later than I expected, so could only set it up so that the 1st debit happens on the 1st of August. Will they accept a manual transfer for the month of July, even though less than 1 month will elapse before the 1st SO?
 
Re: Anglo Irish launches new 8% Regular Savings Account

Sorry to bring this up again. The website says "Unlimited withdrawals are allowed after the 6 month anniversary".
How would I make withdrawals considering there is no branch near me and this is not an online account?

How long were you waiting for the activation code ? I have been waiting 2 weeks now for BOI to send it out!

I was waiting 5 working days. You should contact them to verify that your instruction went through. 2 weeks is too long to be waiting. There must be an issue.

You just ring Anglo Irish, confirm a few security questions and then transfer whatever amount of money you want to your nominated account. I have never been put on hold and find their customer service to be excellent, so you shouldn't encounter any problems.
 
Re: Anglo Irish launches new 8% Regular Savings Account


Agreed. never had to deal with them over withdrawals (but will when my 7% matures next month) but overall they are very efficient and easy to deal with over the phone and by e-mail
