    Hi,
    I was looking for the highest interest rate, guaranteed return, no risk, venture out there.

    I already have 10k with rabobank, but their interest rate has gone down to 4.3%
    First active offer 5.22% for sums under 15k, so i reckon i might open one of those.

    EDir - Acutally i just saw that first active offer 7.15%, and this is for accounts upto 100k
    I think i'll switch to them
    http://www.firstactive.ie/savings/rsa/index.aspx
    Anyone dealt with first active? how are they?


    I have one of the aib savers that offer 7.x% for small amounts. about 3k or so.

    Any others out there?
    Thanks
    J

    one of rabos biggest assets is their triple a rating as a credit institution, same raing given to, say, the US as a debtor. not sure what firstactives rating is. for example, rabos rating is higher than any irish bank including aib/boi.

    edit:
    cant see first active defaulting regardless of credit rating!

    EBS offering 7.25%, again though for regular savings, rather than lump sum, offering 5.4% for lump sums.
