I can wholeheartedly recommend Kent Reliance. Myself, wife and daughter all have various accounts with Kent Reliance, we’ve got one Easy Access account, several ISA’s built up over the years and a few One Year Fixed Rate Bonds.
You can choose annual or monthly interest and if you wish to receive monthly interest ( as you do ) it is paid into your nominated account i.e. your current account with another bank.
I have to emphasise that all transactions are done on line and money going into and coming out from K R accounts is swift and their website is as easy as pie to navigate and to use. And the icing on the cake……..you can call them and speak to a human being if you really need to.
As at today, they are offering an Easy Access account paying 3.75% annually = 3.69% p.a. if interest paid monthly.
A One-Year Fixed Rate Bond paying 4.47% annually = 4.38% p.a. if interest paid monthly.
###++## I have no connection whatsoever with Kent Reliance as I am too far away from any of their Branches but my family are so pleased with the ease with which we can manage our accounts online that we have no inclination to jump ship.
