Coventry are just going to put their instant access savings up to 1.5% which isn't bad for high street and one hundred percent safe - better than the 123 currently (although that works well for me because I have a mortgage with Stan tander and pay three lots of council tax for rental properties so get quite a goodly chunk back in the rebate thing) -

To some extent that doesn't matter as long as we're talking less than 85k - which I assume that we are as the OP was talking about 123 accounts which only pay 1.5% on balances up to 20kOriginally posted by AtW View PostIf Coventry goes bust, who will bail it out?Comment

Halifax kids saver - 2% on 5k for each child. You can have two accounts per child.
No tax as it's for the kids innit.
It was 20k per child, but they said that parents had been abusing it.
