It was announced this week that inflation, as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), fell to 0.30%.
Shockingly, there are over 600 savings accounts paying just 0.30% or even less, which means that approximately 14% of ALL accounts are not beating inflation, even at this paltry level. Is your money in one of them?
Check your rate and make the move. There is so much choice out there offering better returns and now most of you will be receiving interest tax free because of the introduction of the Personal Savings Allowance. So, if any of your accounts are paying less than inflation or you simply wish to increase your return, here are just a few of the best rates available - make the switch:
TSB Bank - Classic Plus Account pays 5.00% on £1 up to £2,000. Along with Nationwide below, this account pays one of the highest rates for a current account.
