Top offshore sterling savings account

This top offshore offer from Bradford and Bingley International is called their eAccess savings account and right now it's paying 6.35% on balances over GBP1000. You have ready access through their internet portal. This highest level of interest is inclusive of a bonus 0.4% which is payable until 31 December 2007. It is also only paid on accounts where interest is paid annually rather than monthly.

This top offshore account requires you to specify a 'linked' account - which can be in the UK or at another offshore institution and your finds must transfer first to this linked account before it can be transferred anywhere else. If you already have a current account with a major bank offshore like Barlays or Lloyds this should prove no problem. If however you want to open another offshore account as your linked account but do not want to pay monthly fees for the priviledge, then consider the call account from Abbey International. This has a low minimum balance and costs nothing to run.
