I want to bring over a few bob to invest in a savings account to generate the money for paying the Turkish bills. So which bank is currently offering the best savings rate? Either on a monthly or annual payment basis, and of course most helpful if they have a nice english speaker to assist in getting through the paperwork.[^]

Most are very similar,however wait untill the pound strenghens against the lira as it is close to its all time low.

Trouble is, if it takes 4 month to get back up, you have lost 4 months interest, i think i would take the interest myself, and what happens if it never goes back up. Alan

Thanks for the updates, but can you let me know what interest rates the banks are currently offering for savings accounts?
