has been discussed in great detail over on MoneySavingExpert in their Saving and Investment Forum. Its a good deal because you can take your money out anytime which you cannot normally do without penalty with other fixed rate bonds. So its a savings account really. And the government is guaranteeing the public's funds in Northern Rock - all of your savings not just up to £35000 which is the FSA guarantee. And, when they stop guaranteeing (which wont be for a while) they will give 3 months notice and you could take your money out!

Very good offer, especially with the speculation of base rates going down.
The benefit of being able to withdraw at any time is good too, however it is only for 1 year.

For all those nay-sayers, the fsa now guarantees any money held at most banks up to 35k iirc, so your money is safe.

My final thoughts tho, is that hotukdeals shouldn't be used for financial advice as it doesnt seem the right place to put personal opinion on financial products as not everything is suitable for everyone. To check out the best available accounts etc check outwww. moneysavingexpert.com for impartial advice (and your national newspaper for regular comparisons)
Regards

The government are habitual liars, and say anything to calm the situation. There is nothing in writing regarding the guarantee, only a liars word.

I read about this over at MSE and have cashed out of ICICI and B&B to put into this. I'm happy & secure enough with the guarantees and this is 6.9% fixed. This will be even better value when interest rates inevitable go down in the not to distant future. Penalty free withdrawals mean it's basically a savings account (additional deposits won't be allowed once this is closed to public applications)

I'm using this to keep my stooze pot.

These are government backed bonds. You will get paid even if Northern Rock crumbles.

As for the person with shares with railtrack, shares and bonds are very different. Shareholders are always the last people to get paid when a company goes bust.
