Savings Champion Rate Alert

Tuesday 6th September 2016
 
From the start of September, we have seen fewer accounts disappearing from our best buy tables, though there have been a huge number of interest rates cut for existing account holders. This is a clear incentive to look for a better deal, whilst they are still available.

So, if your account is no longer at a competitive level, switch now. Interest rates of up to 5% AER are available for savers at the moment with High Interest Current Accounts and there is also a range of other options to consider, including Notice Accounts or Fixed Rate Accounts.
 
With this in mind, below is a summary of some of the top-paying accounts currently on the market and if you need any help at all with your savings, please call us on 0800 321 3581, we’d love to hear from you.
Provider Account Name Balance AER
TSB Bank Classic Plus Account £1 - £2,000 5.00%
Nationwide Building Society FlexDirect Current Account £1 - £2,500 5.00%
RCI Bank Freedom Savings Account £100+ 1.20%
Bank and Clients 90 Day Notice Account £1,000+ 1.50%
Charter Savings Bank 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond £1,000+ 1.46%
