I am looking for the best deposit rate for up to €100k for a maximum fixed term of 3 years. Is there Is there a better fixed rate than the currrent BOI offer of 8% for 18 months? BOI 8%
Bank Of Ireland - 18 month fixed rate 8% (5.26% EAR)
Minimum deposit €3,000, No maximum
Access up to 10% before December 31st 2008 and 10% again before the term ends
What is the AER on the EBS offer? Just because the nominal rate is higher doesn't necessarily mean that the AER is also higher than other similar offers on the market.
People really should quote the AER on such offers. After all the banks are obliged to. "8.5% over 18 months" or whatever is not much use when attempting to compare it with other rates especially for other terms.
