Best savings account which can be opened from UK
Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago I swear I saw a 6.25% interest rate for 12months term deposit on ANZ's website. It seemed to be some kinf of introductory offer.
Does anyone know if I was dreaming ?
Has anyone researched to find out the best savings account rate...ideally one which can be opened from the UK?
Thanks
TC

The best which can be opened from UK is Westpac savings. You open a normal and savings account - put $2500 into the normal account so no fees and then put the rest into the savings account. You can't transfer between accounts until you actually get there and activate the accounts but you can exchange and forward money direct into either.

BankWest (part of the HBOS Group I believe) have a 6.40% offering at the moment ... http://www.abetterdeal.com.au/ ... though you may need to be Aussie resident to open an account.
Maybe have a browse here: http://www.infochoice.com.au/banking/default.asp
Best regards.
