Leading expatriate magazine, Nexus, has voted Anglo Irish Bank Corporation (I.O.M.) P.L.C. winner in five out of five international deposit taking categories in its 2006 Best Banks for Expats Awards.

The Nexus Awards are based on the number of times a savings account appeared in the magazine’s monthly ‘Best Buy’ tables during 2005.  “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 the best interest rates during 2005.

Anglo Irish Bank came top in five award categories:

• Best Offshore Bank for Expats

• Best Sterling Instant Access Account

• Best Sterling Notice Account

• Best US Dollar Account

• Best Euro Account

Anglo Irish Bank Director, Mark Gaywood, commented:
“When we launched our Privilege range of accounts we made a commitment to keep our interest rates competitive.  This award provides a powerful and independent endorsement that we are delivering on our promise.  The fact that we have won all five awards, including Best Offshore Bank for Expats, signals to expatriates - and others looking for international deposit accounts - that they can trust Anglo Irish to offer a good deal on a consistent basis.”
Currently, Anglo’s Privilege Instant Access Account offers 4.50%, and its Privilege 90-day Notice Account offers 4.85%, on sterling balances of £5,000 and above.  Anglo’s 7-day US Dollar Account offers 4.40% and its 90-day US Account offers 4.65% on balances of $5,000 and above.
Gaywood added: “While interest rates are important, the success of our Privilege range of accounts is also down to the fact that we have considerably streamlined the account opening process, making it quicker and easier for people to do business with us.  We like to think that our reputation for excellent customer service also plays an important part in winning and retaining investor loyalty.”
