Savings Champion Rate Alert

Friday 18th November 2016
This has been a good week for new best buys and now Tesco Bank has got in on the act with new and improved fixed rate bonds, plus a competitive easy access account.

Launched today, is the easy access Internet Saver paying a competitive 0.91% gross/AER, beaten only by RCI Bank^ and NS&I, which both pay 1% gross/AER.

The new 2 year (1.52% gross/AER), 3 year (1.62% gross/AER) and 4 year bonds (1.64% gross/AER) all appear in our Fixed Rate Bond Best Buy Tables, with the 3 year bond topping the table for the term.

So good news, but don't forget that High Interest Current Accounts continue to offer some of the best rates on the market, with up to 5% AER available from both Nationwide and TSB Bank*.

As always, if you need any help with your savings or want to discuss further options, please call us on 0800 321 3581, we’d love to hear from you.
