We’re excited to share with you the winners and highly commended providers for the 2020 Savings Champion Awards.
As you can see from the list below, there are some stand-out performances and a whole host of different savings providers that have been recognised this time.
Now in its seventh year, our Savings Awards acknowledge excellence in a wide range of categories, recognising those banks and building societies that have consistently offered best buy rates, provided excellent customer service and promoted competition in the savings market over the last 12 months.
As our Awards are independently chosen through a comprehensive and detailed judging process, we hope this will help you to pick through the savings market and focus in on those providers that offer consistent value and high levels of customer service.
Congratulations to all the 2020 winners and highly commended providers.
