Savings Champion Rate Alert

Friday 13th January 2017
There's been more positive news as RCI Bank has once again increased the rate on its Freedom Savings Account. The account now pays 1.02% gross/AER, which is the highest interest rate for those with less than £25,000 to deposit.

Hopefully, these improvements will continue and spread to other areas of the savings market as well.

Alternatively, it is worth noting that High Interest Current Accounts* continue to offer some of the best rates on the market, with up to 5% AER available from the likes of Nationwide.

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