Anglo Irish Bank - Best Expat Savings Account 2009

Leading expat magazine, Nexus, has voted Anglo Irish Bank Corporation (International) PLC winner in four categories in its 2009 Best Banks for Expats Awards, one of the most high profile and sought-after awards in the financial services industry.

The Nexus Awards are based on the number of times a savings account appeared in the magazine's monthly 'Best Buy' tables during the last 12 months. "Best Buy" accounts are those which offer the highest interest rate available at the time in the different categories of account.

Success in the Nexus awards confirms that Anglo Irish Bank has consistently offered competitive interest rates during the last year.

Anglo Irish Bank came top in four award categories:

• Best Offshore Bank for Expats, Overall (Winner)
• Best Offshore Bank for Expats, Sterling Notice Accounts (Winner)
• Best Offshore Bank for Expats, US Dollar Accounts (Winner)
• Best Offshore Bank for Expats, Euro Accounts (Winner)
  

Commenting, Anglo's Head of Personal Savings, Gary Quaggan, said: "When we launched our Privilege range of accounts we made a commitment to keep rates consistently competitive. Winning these awards for the fifth year running is a powerful and independent endorsement that we are delivering on that promise. The fact that we have also once again won in four award categories, including Best Overall Offshore Savings Bank, signals to expatriates, and others looking for international deposit accounts, that they can trust Anglo Irish to offer them a good deal across the board.

We aimed Privilege at a broad spectrum of investors, including expatriates who tend to have particularly busy lifestyles and can't always be expected to follow every rate change in the savings market. Many expatriates, therefore, find that Privilege's pledge to keep rates competitive over the medium to long term is something which particularly appeals to them. We like to think that our reputation for excellent customer service also plays an important part in winning and retaining investor loyalty".

Anglo Irish Bank Corporation (International) PLC first launched its Privilege range of deposit accounts in January 2002. Since then, its suite of deposit and fixed interest accounts has appeared regularly in the "Best Buy" tables.

All Anglo accounts are available to pay interest gross*, can be operated by telephone, in person, or online, and are available with a minimum opening balance of 5,000 in GBP£, US$, or Euro€.

*Subject to the provision of the European Savings Tax Directive
