fungus kindly pointed me at the INBS Share account, which does 7 months fixed term at 3.30%. Must be opened by 28th Feb. I spot something interesting here... 28th Feb 2010 + 7 months = 28th Sep 2010. Which is the day the guarantee runs out. I'm not suggesting anything bad is likely to happen on that day, but is there some reason for this? Do they have a funding shortfall they need to make up in the meantime? Or just coincidence?
