Avant/Bankinter launch deposit product in Irish market

[Lightning]

The Times says that BankInter will launch a regular saver product. So I guess the pending "Saver" product will be a regular saver product rather than a lump sum deposit account.

This may be a typo, but Bankinter are showing 3.3% for 1 year on their site! (and 2.72% for 6 months)
https://www.bankinter.ie/personal/save-and-invest/fixed-term-deposit-account at 13.30 today.

12 month fixed term​

3.30% p.a
3.30% AER

• Term: 12 months
• Deposit from €2,000 to €2 million.
• Fixed interest is paid on maturity
• Access up to 25% of your funds after 8 weeks.

Sadly, when I clicked on "Take My Money!" well, "Apply Now", I got:

Maintenance Notice.​

We’re currently making some improvements to our website, so applications for Deposit Plus accounts are temporarily unavailable.

Please try again later.

Here's hoping.....

** Update 23.30 - it now says 2.30% for 1 year term as given in Lightning's list. Oh well....

looking good. This might wake up a couple of the others


EDIT: the same page still lists 1 year at 2.3% further down

Fixed back to 2.3!

It's back to 3.30% everywhere in that page. It seems 3.30% is their new 12 months deposit rate.

The new rate has an item on the Irish independent today.

I'm moving deposits from PTSb for sure.

Wow! It was real afterall! Great new offer from BankInter. Beating Raisin rates for products without foreign withholding tax.
