ADCB is now offering 7% for 1 year deposits, even higher for 2-3 year term; Royal Bank of Scotland - 6.6% - 6month deposits

Must make a note of that, thanks! Tied in for a few more months at 5.5% elsewhere.

What is pre-mature deposit uplift fee? It might make sense to uplift the deposit and place it at a higher rate sometimes...

NZ has one of the highest interest rates in the world (althoug falling) and you can't get 7% there anymore.
Seems a bit dodgy that we can get 6-7% here....esp when USD is next to zilch.

NBAD aren't paying anywhere as high as ADCB (about 5% max, for over a million). The 7% looks tempting, but I need to find out more about what's going on in ADCB....
