Advice on a 3 month savings account

[giov1cat]

Hi

Can anyone advise me on the following:-

a) a 3 month savings account for €10,000 or €27,000
b) a 6 month option on the above

I can't afford to put this money away for any longer than that but am earning nothing on it at the moment.

Thanks

Welcome to AAM, giov1cat.

Have you checked the relevant best buy thread? Afaik, nobody is offering a 3-month fixed rate; you might be as well off just putting it in a variable rate deposit a/c if you can't lock it away for six months.

Hi Dr Moriarty

Thanks for the welcome.

I had checked that thread and found a reference to a 6 month account but not for anything shorter. I know some of the banks etc were offering specials on 100 days/3 month accounts but a lot of these seem to have dried up.

b) a 6 month option on the above

See http://www.askaboutmoney.com/showthread.php?t=101813

Best Buys - Highest Term Deposit Rates

6 Months - Irish Nationwide - 4.50%

a) a 3 month savings account for €10,000 or €27,000

I think the best rate is the 100 day term deposit account with PTSB with a rate of 4.00%.

Irish Nationwide Building Society are offering 3, 6 and 9 month term deposits @ 4.5% but minimum is 20k. Look at their website -
