Saving a lump sum - best option?

    I have a lump sum (between €5k and €10k) that I would like to lodge somewhere that will give me some kind of interest.

    I'm currently with BOI and want to keep that account for day-to-day expenses, while topping up this lump sum account that will be earning me some interest.

    I have heard Rabo Direct mentioned, and I'm also considering prize bonds. Any other recommendations?

    The option to withdraw this lump sum is nice but not essential.

    Any help is much appreciated
