Hi, i'm thinking of transferring my funds from icesave and opening an account with birmingham midshires esaver at 6.52%. Has anybody had any experience with birmigham midshires?

During the online application, it is stated that deposits will take 10 working days and withdrawals 5 working days. This seems kinda long to me, considering icesave only takes 3 days for transactions.

There is another article out there today that's quite worrying about Icelandic banks, so I'm thinking of jumping ship.
