Time is of the essence, last chance to get the equivalent of 7% AER (£210) in the first year with Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank

Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank is offering a cash incentive of £150 until 31st March 2016, if you switch to one of its current accounts. This is one of the biggest upfront cash incentive on the market for those looking to switch to a new current account.

Additionally, if you opted for its Current Account Direct, you will also receive 2% AER on the first £3,000. With the cash incentive, this is a total of £210, which is the equivalent of getting 7% AER for the first year!
 


If you don’t want to switch your account, you can still get up to 5% AER with alternative High Interest Current Accounts.

Get 5% AER with TSB and Nationwide

TSB Bank and  Nationwide offer 5% AER on balances of up to £2,000 and £2,500 respectively.

If you have a partner, there is nothing to prevent you opening additional accounts in joint and sole names. For more information on how to maximise your savings using High Interest Current Accounts, call 0800 321 3581, to speak to one of our expert advisers.
 

Get 3% AER with Santander on up to £60,000 - Earn up to £1,800 gross*

Santander’s 123 Current Account, offers up to 3% AER on balances up to £20,000. Although the account has a £5 monthly fee, this is offset by the interest earned. Make sure you're also taking full advantage of the cashback facility to further mitigate the monthly fee.
 
*What’s more, savers can open up to three accounts, making a total of £60,000; one in your sole name, one in joint names and one in your partner's name with £20,000 in each. This can be a great way to limit the hassle of multiple accounts with several providers, while still getting a great return.
 
The account remains one of the very best High Interest Current Accounts on the market for savers, due to the larger amounts that can be saved.
