Savings Champion Rate Alert

Friday 22nd September 2017

 

 

In recent years, we have seen many of the leading rates only being available to open and manage online. However, where does this leave those who would prefer not to conduct financial transactions this way?

This week, we have seen The Access Bank UK take the top spot in our 1 year fixed rate bond table (paying 1.85% gross/AER). Although this account is available to open and manage online, it can also be done via the post.

Amongst longer term fixed rate bonds, Tesco Bank, again offer online access and applications, but both can also be done via the telephone.

Within the fixed rate cash ISA market, competitive rates are available for branch and postal based accounts from both Virgin Money and Yorkshire Building Society. Both providers are offering online or branch and postal versions of their respective accounts.

So, although many of the best rates are only available online, it is still possible to obtain competitive rates through other application channels. 

For further options across a range of savings accounts, please refer to our best buy tables or give us a call on 0800 321 3581, we'd love to hear from you.
