Look at it this way though, many of us here on AAM filled our boots with SS products to a greater or lesser extent both before last December's cut and since the cut and there is still time for more boot filling. The fact that the banks lobbied for a reduction last year and are now lobbying again means that this was/is a decent strategy (assuming there is no haircutting or defaults later)If State Savings rates are cut again within the next few months I for one will be very annoyed.
I have been reviewing my savings options and have just (again) read over the various 3,4,5,6 and 10 year NTMA options. I have to say...why would I go with any other bank when the NTMA offer such good rates?!
CiaranT,
What do you mean by 'lock now'?
Can NTMA rates be 'locked' at the time of purchase??
A question of my own: does anyone know if the maximum allowed investment in a product applies across all issues, or is per issue? In other words, can you buy the new issue if you are already maxed out on the previous one?
I asked that question before and am pretty sure that the limits are per issue for all products. So, if for example, you have already have 120k of 17th issue saving certs, you can purchase a further 120k of the 18th (current) issue.A question of my own: does anyone know if the maximum allowed investment in a product applies across all issues, or is per issue?

Anybody any idea why the 6 Year Instalment Savings Product gets such little publicity from State Savings?
