thanks, I will persevere with CCbank.
I will also try the state bank of india account as well since 1.50% is quite high for easy access

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostAldermore has marginally better online banking, but it's really slow to use. I have no idea what they are doing, but it's frustrating because you have to go through a few screens to get to where you need to be, and then if you want to look at another account, you have to go back to the start to go to the new account. They will only accept money in from your nominated account - I made a transfer from the wrong account, and they rejected it. To be fair to them, though, they rang me straight away to explain what was happening.
Transfers from Aldermore show up the next day as well. If you are doing their fixed-term account, at the end of the year they will contact you to choose what to do with the money - last year I just opened a new account with it automatically. Slightly frustrating that it's a new account, though, rather than just keeping the same one for another year.

since you have Aldermore & CCBank, how easy is it moving money back and forth with their easy access accounts .... especially since I will shifting money monthly from santander current account?
Doing a withdrawal from the notice account is dead easy - I did my first one last month. Just fill in the form online and then 30 days later (in my case) the money transferred back to Santander. They will only pay out to a nominated account, which is good.

You can get 1.75% on a 95 day account with Cambridge and Counties Bank (Save 95 and 60 - Cambridge & Counties Bank - Small to Medium (SME) Commercial Lending) or 1.8% there on a one year bond.

Invest it in wine and art, which you store in your home - charging the company a fee for the storage of course.

I'm currently teetering on the edge of the higher rate tax bracket. This year and next I have/plan to take £15k out of my biz account to max out my ISA allowance. This is because I have a target amount of money I want to get together in the next year or so which will give me a significant deposit for a house. Do any of you guys have any tips that follow along the lines of what I'm doing, basically taking the cash out?

I'm already putting some money monthly from my Ltd Co. into a pension too.
