Over the last few months we have seen regular competition between providers in the easy access market. However, for the last week or so we have seen the rates hold steady, with few new entrants to the best buys.

As we approach the start of December, we are poised to see a multitude of providers increase rates across their existing savings range - due to the Bank of England base rate increase. So we will see what effect (if any) this has on the best buys.

In the meantime, we continue to see the ever-present RCI Bank^ atop our easy access table.

The provider's Freedom Savings Account* is kept company by Birmingham Midshires' Internet Saver Account (both paying 1.30% gross/AER).

It is important to be aware that, although these accounts are paying the same rate, the Internet Saver Account reverts to a much lower-paying account after the first 12 months.

For more information on the above accounts and other options available, please click on the links below.

If you would like any help with your savings, call us today on 0800 011 9705. We'd love to hear from you.

Our Best Buy Tables are based on whole of market research, independent and have no commercial bias, ensuring that you can rely on them to make an informed decision. Alternatively, please call us on 0800 011 9705 to discuss your savings with one of our expert advisers.

†High interest current accounts often have a number of conditions attached to qualify for the headline rate. Please ensure you carefully read the terms and conditions before proceeding. Many of these current accounts do not require customers to switch their main account.

*We are occasionally paid by some providers if you click through from our Best Buy Tables and open a savings or current account with them. We will never accept a payment that compromises in any way our independent, whole of market approach to providing information on savings products. For clarity we will indicate those companies who remunerate us with an asterisk (*).

^Deposits held with RCI Bank are covered up to the value of €100,000 by the FGDR, which is the French equivalent of the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). For more information on this, please call one of our advisers.
