Savings Champion Rate Alert

Thursday 21st July 2016

Despite many rates dropping at the moment, Charter Savings Bank has bucked the trend by launching a new 95 day notice account, paying 1.61% gross/AER.

Not only is this a market leading rate, but it is also an improvement on the previous version. For more information, please take a look at our Notice Account Best Buy Table.

Also launched this week is a new easy access best buy from National Counties Building Society, paying 1.30% gross/AER.

For further details on the account, take a look at our Easy Access Best Buy Table.
