Alliance & Leicester savings account launched

A new Alliance & Leicester savings account is being launched.

The internet only eSaver Issue 2 product pays 6.6 per cent gross a year (6.41 per cent gross monthly) and is available for balances from £1 to £500,000.

It pays interest per month and is intended for customers saving a lump sum for a longer period of time, or those who want a monthly income from savings.

As such, if a withdrawal is made in any month except July, no interest will be earned in that month.

Hetal Parmar, manager for savings at Alliance & Leicester, said the new account gives "a market leading return" and also that it guarantees to keep the rate above the Bank of England base rate by at least half a per cent until February 28th 2010.

In related news, Baronworth Investment Services has found that guaranteed bond rates have improved over the last week.

It said they are "still a safe haven" for people with £35,000 or more to invest.

According to its survey, the best rate today is for a one year annual bond for £500,000 or more from AIG.
