Rate Alert: Regular Savings Accounts
For those looking to start saving, the savings market can look quite daunting and deciding where to begin can be challenging.

This is where regular savings accounts come as a ‘saving’ grace, as they can be a great way to get into the habit of putting money away regularly each month.
 
With this in mind, Leeds Building Society currently pays 2.30% AER on its RegularSaver (Issue 6), which is the market-leading rate available to everyone and allows monthly deposits between £0 and £250 each month.
 
If you saved £125 each month for 12 months, you will accumulate £1,500 plus interest; perhaps to go towards a holiday next summer…!?
 
It is possible to achieve higher returns as some providers offer rates of up to 5% AER, if you are or become a current account customer. For further information on these accounts, please refer to our Regular Savings Best Buy Table.

Protect your legacy for your loved ones

The number of families paying Inheritance Tax (IHT) is at a 35 year high, as soaring property prices push the value of family assets above the current IHT threshold of £325,000.

With Inheritance Tax set at 40 per cent of the value of your estate above the £325,000 threshold, now is a good time to plan and ensure you protect your legacy for your loved ones.

To help you, Savings Champion has produced this guide to highlight some of the key factors to consider when building your legacy and trying to reduce your IHT liability.

†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 (*).
