This is interesting as I have never heard of them but sorry not a good time with PC and EQ offering new rates higher than 2.25%. I'd have considered if it was 2.5% - 3%.

However, PC and EQ are not guaranteeing the rate for a year. PC in particular specifies end of August, and the only reason EQ increased their rate was because of the goings on with HCG; EQ will drop it again as soon as the danger passes. These are not trend-setting rates.
I'd consider Parama if willing to lock up for a year.
