Default UK High Interest Bank Accounts

Hey guys

Can anyone point me in the right (best) direction for a high interest savings account in the UK? It can be a 'non' instant account, and I am hoping to get about 8-10% interest rate.

Looking through the W/end papers, i saw only rates of bout 6.5% which isn't as great.

Anyone with info - grately recieved.

How many £m do you have to invest? You won't get anywhere near that rate with a bank account AFAIK.

It's pretty good! There are higher interest things but they tend to be linked to offers and current accounts, as an enticement.

We use Icesave.....

I would like to get that too, I know of a guy in Nigeria who said he could help out.

4.3% in Canada with ING or Royal Bank e-savings. Money market funds might be a bit higher.

Be thankful. We've just opened a savings account in Canada with a market-leading rate of 3.3%.
