Does anyone know anything about this company?  Is it safe and trustworthy if i wanted to invest say £10k?

This is the link to their website if anyone cares to take a look. Any thoughts appreciated.

And on the subject of the savings, I think you can match or better 6.3% with a more recognisable and reputable company.

Icesave are fine. They are regulated and upto £35,000 is guaranteed by the government in the unlikely event they wents tits-up. Their rates can be beaten but not by a lot. I believe ICICI Bank is the current rate leader for savings (non-ISA) accounts of this type. Although fixed-term bonds offer a bit more return - I think ICICI are best for those too.

Oops. I did put my money where my mouth is though by transferring my previous years' ISAs to Icesave. Luckily for me it failed on a technicality and they were waiting on me re-sending some paperwork, which, being a dozy, forgetful git, I'd forgotten to do. Phew!

I see Iceland (the country) have asked Russia for a loan of a 4 bn euros, and given there is little change that they can afford to pay it back, I guess Russia's navy and airforce is about to gain a new airport and naval base in the middle of the Atlantic.
