Hi I've recently come into 80,000 euro and am just wondering which bank/building society has the best rate at the moment. I have no mortgage or debts so really I'm just looking for somewhere to put it that doesn't tie it up for too long but gives me a good return.

Hi
If you don't want to exceed the gurantee up to Stg50,000 (approx Eur58/59k at current rates), you could split the Eur80k, and put Eur50k into Investec for 6/9/12 months and put the balance into something like First Active's 6 mth fixed term deposit which is offering 6.25% and I think is the 2nd best offering after Investec. (I have heard they are likely to close this off by the end of this week as they have received over Eur120m since the offer started)
Thanks for all your replies, I opted for first active for 6 months. At least now I have a bit of breathing space and will look into investec after that. It was the panic of having this cheque sitting looking at me and knowing I should deposit it somewhere quickly!
