Both of these offer good impartial advice. I opened an internet savings account with ING recently - everything seems easy enough but not taken any out yet
I�ve had the account since January and they have consistently paid top interest rates � currently 5.0%. It is dead easy to move your money around. Accounts like these are ideal if you just want to put away rainy day money or an emergency fund that you can access quickly and easily but if you want to build up some cash savings, it is probably better to go for a mini cash ISA as the interest you receive is tax free.
I've just opened an Online Saver account with the Alliance and Leicester. It pays 5.35% on anything from �1 upwards. You have to nominate a current account, not necessarily with the A & L, and investments and withdrawals are done through that. It has all been very easy so far - touch wood!
