    6% tax free

    decided to move the grandkids savings out of bank A, because they are a bit of a rip off, moved them into the Halifax, and was told that if I opened an adults
    account with a quid in it, the kids rate would go up to 6 %.

    best quid I ever spent

      I looked at that for my kids - couldn't get it in Scotland because there are no Halifax branches, only Bank of Scotland ones, all the Halifax branches got merged with BoS branches when the companies merged. FFS!

      Anyway, turns out is is only for 1 year then they will doubtless give tulip rates - one to watch for.

      Al.

        How much can you put in the kids account at 6%???
        What happens in General, stays in General.
        You know what they say about assumptions!

          the big problem is how to steal it back off the swines when they reach 18
