In what can only be seen as a positive for savers - the battle in the easy access market continues!

RCI Bank has consistently been at the top end of the easy access market, but recently slipped from our best buy tables. However, the provider has returned in style to retake the crown.

RCI Bank now pays the market-leading rate of 1.30% gross/AER on its Freedom Savings Account, surpassing the rest of the field.

Interestingly, it is not only new customers that will benefit from this rate, but existing account holders too.

Staying with easy access accounts, we have also seen the launch of a new version of Birmingham Midshires' Internet Saver Account paying 1.25% gross/AER, which has also taken a place in our best buy table.

For further information on these accounts and other leading rates, please refer to our easy access best buy table.

For other options across a range of savings accounts, please refer to our best buy tables or give us a call on 0800 321 3581, we'd love to hear from you.
